What is a disatarous eaethquake?

A disastrous earthquake refers to a seismic event that causes significant destruction, loss of life, and widespread disruption to infrastructure and communities. These earthquakes often occur along fault lines and can trigger secondary hazards such as tsunamis, landslides, or fires. The impact is exacerbated in densely populated areas or regions with poor building standards. Recovery from such disasters typically requires extensive humanitarian aid and long-term rebuilding efforts.
