What is the difference between primary and secondary effects of an earthquake?
Primary effects occur immediately, as a result of the earthquake itself. Example of primary effects include buildings and bridges collapsing and death and injury to people. Secondary effects can occur from hours to days after the initial earthquake. Secondary effects include tsunamis and disease due to lack of medical facilities.
