Earthquakes typically occur with little warning.
Earthquakes have devastating effects, resulting in hundreds to thousands of deaths and injuries, and millions to billions of dollars worth of property damage. The earthquake's location, magnitude of the earthquake, surface geology, and population density are major factors contributing to earthquake damage. The boundaries along each plate are referred to as margins. Different types of stresses are associated with each type of margin. Each type of margin has a corresponding fault type associated with it.
