effects of earthquake
Effects of the recent earthquake is china?
yes this is home work help... i am righting about earthquakes and i am having problems finding individuall facts about this earthquake .. this is what i would like if possible
nine effects such as fire, gas line break, chemical spills, disease, flooding, death toll, buildings destroyed.
and if you have any ideas for solutions like prevention or help to be sent w.e that would be nice to
Chemical spills- 80 tons of ammonia spilled

animals- while initially reported the pandas were all safe in a reserve, later reports said 3 were missing.

death toll- while not everyone has only one child, many families do because of the single child law. With the death of some many children because the earthquake happened in the early afternoon, whole communities of children are gone.
structural damage (homes only)- an earlier answer mentioned how California has building codes and laws for earthquake preparedness, and many other countries do not-- here is an article, though it has probably been updated and revised http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24812230/
Flooding is also talked about in the last article mentioned above

Seattle Viaduct Earthquake Simulation w/ sound effects
To what extent does the early warning system minimize the effects of earthquakes?
To what extent does the early warning system minimize the effects of earthquakes?
-To what extent? And why?
-Pros and Cons?
-Other measures that could be used to minimize earthquake damage
Thanks for your help. Doing a little research project at school 
As of now, there is no such thing as an early warning system for earthquakes. Earthquakes cannot be predicted in advance with any reliability (there have been a couple of official predictions, but the same methods failed in subsequent predictions). An alarm system based on the detection of the first waves from a large quake would provide anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes of warning; this would be enough time for people to seek shelter, but not much else, and it could also cause panic.
For now, the best way to minimize earthquake damage is to build earthquake-resistant structures in general while avoiding all construction in active fault zones. Earthquake drills and other educational activities help keep people aware of what they need to do themselves when a quake hits.
