In the next section, we'll talk about the waves of energy that earthquakes generate, and the effects that they cause.

The earthquake generated devastating tsunamis that affected Japan and Hawaii.

The earthquake has generated a significant series of its own aftershocks, many of which are considered big for a 6.3 quake.

Scientific studies have concluded that an earthquake occurring along this fault zone could generate a significant tsunami.

In 1993, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 generated a tsunami which devastated Okushiri, killing 202.

Large earthquakes may generate Love waves that travel around the Earth several times before dissipating.

An earthquake there could generate deadly waves, as previous quakes did at least twice before, in 1833 and 1861.

The earthquake also generated a blackout that affected 93 percent of the country's population and which went on for several days in some locations.

The earthquake generated a tsunami and landslides on the Verde Island.

Larger earthquakes can generate very large shear loads on structures.
