an earthquake can make rivers change their course, Earthquakes can trigger（触发） landslides that cause great damage（毁坏） and loss of life. Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series of huge, destructive waves called tsunamis that flood coasts for many miles. Earthquakes almost never kill people directly. Instead, many deaths and injuries in earthquakes result from falling objects and the collapse of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Fire resulting from broken gas or power lines is another major danger during a quake. Spills of dangerous chemicals are also a concern（顾虑） during an earthquake.
The force of an earthquake depends on how much rock breaks and how far it shifts. Powerful earthquakes can shake firm ground violently for great distances. During small earthquakes, the vibration（震动） may be no greater than the vibration caused by a passing truck.
On average, a powerful earthquake happens less than once every two years. At least 40 moderate earthquakes cause damage somewhere in the world each year. About 40,000 to 50, 000 small earthquakes — large enough to be fell but not damaging — happen annually. 41. According to the passage, tsunamis is created __________ by large earthquakes.
