One shakes the ground and topples buildings.

The other shakes the land, burns the town, and covers the entire continent with poisonous clouds and blots out the sun - killing vegetation and animals

What a hard question

>>58849451
Earthquakes kill more because it can't be predicted and happens waaaay more frequently than volcanic eruptions.
But OP's question is which one yields more destruction in average
>>
Tea and cigarette shortage.
>>
depends. if your house collapsed due to it and you got trapped in the debris of it without food it would be the worst case.
>>
>>58849851
he gets it.
>>
>>58849920
Yeah but trapped and starving with a chance to be saved is objectively better than burning/melting with no chance of being saved
>>
Eruptions have more potential for global disaster. They can also cause massive earthquakes.
>>
>>58849851
Yeah. If you're outside in the open during an earthquake, you'll survive no matter the strength of the earthquake. With volcanoes, you won't, because eventually you'll get tired of running and that lava flows really fast so it's a question whether you'll escape in the first place.
>>
An earthquake that causes a volcano eruption
>>
>>58850106
Lava is not fast though.
You are more likely to die from the fumes and severe heat before the lava reaches you.
If you jumped in a volcano, chances are, the heat would have long melted your lungs and boiled your brain before you even hit the molten earth
>>
>>58850065
yeah but it still depends. imagine the case where your head got sandwiched between the debris and you couldnt move at all.
>>
>>58850676
Why would I want to imagine that.

You're mean

Earthquake considering more people are dumb enough to settle and build cities in earthquake suspectible regions than on volcanoes.
