Direct vibration damage and man-made structure
Most earthquake-related death is due to the collapse of structure and construction practice play a tremendous role in the death toll of the earthquake. In southern Italy in 1909 more than 100000 people died in the earthquake hit the region. Almost half of the people live in the region were killed due to fold structure of messina domination of the rural areas. A bigger earthquake that struck the San Francisco three years ago killed fewer people (about 700), because of different types of the architectural practice is (mainly for the wood). The San Francisco earthquake survival rate is about 98%, the earthquake at messina was between 33% and 45%) (Zebrowski, 1997). The architectural practice can make all the difference in the earthquake, even in mild rupture cities would produce structure vibration tens of thousands of casualties.
Although perhaps the most important, the most direct the vibration effect is not the only harm with the earthquake, other effects, such as landslides, liquefaction, tsunami also play an important role taken by earthquake damage.
Sometimes dramatic by-product of certain types of seismic tsunami. The tsunami is a Japanese terms, meaning "harbor wave". Tsunamis are often feel confused tsunami, but they have no tides, their influence the vertical undersea earthquake caused by the sudden underwater landslides and volcanic deformation. 1883 Krakatoa volcano lead to a collapse of the caldera, launched a tsunami that killed 36000 people near the island. June 25, 1896 Japan's coast seismic tsunami waves produced high coast, from 10 to 100 feet. As fishing fleet returned to shore after the travel, they found a whole night's village were destroyed, and 22000 people died. In the 50000 s DuoRen died as a result of the tsunami.

Slowly, a all kinds of information scaley, furry, or the feathered animal has started came out of the affected areas.
Kazutoshi Takami, vet in Osaka municipal Tennoji ecological garden, last week reported several zoo and aquarium of the suffering of the shortage of gasoline, heating fuel, food and drinking water and human animals. At the same time, according to Takami, fukushima aquarium plan moved to Marine mammals and birds Kamogawa sea world.
M. Sanjayan of the nature conservancy in Arlington, Virginia, told ScienceInsider have the biggest impact on wildlife, can be in shorebirds nested in small island, in the whole Pacific, and not in the Japanese mainland. In fact, most of the wildlife-related tsunami news comes from small Pacific island, such as those in the midway island national wildlife refuge.
On Saturday, March 12,, Peter leary, a wildlife biologist for the us fish and wildlife service who is stationed in the middle of the blog and a subsequent tsunami widely animal rescue operations.
We all 67 island employee/visitors in the BBC in watching the news and see our tidal meter data on the Internet. We see, we have a 5 foot rising tidal level instrument, but I'm glad we don't see any water when we looked out the window.
In see a little washover on the beach island, and set up a work crew albatross chicken petrels dug out of the debris, Greg, I put the boat over the east of the island. On the way, we passed by the hundreds of thousands of the albatross adults and petrels already washed into the water and lose their ability to keep dry. The Wall Street journal of Spain was rolled the island and through the vegetation. We put some into the boat, but need to the island to the east, so we have to hope that most of them will row your boat to the shore.
The main in the eastern island wash, so 10 's tens of thousands of chickens were washed away
