Answer 1

c. when large cracks open in the Earth's crust swallowing structures and people

Step-by-step explanation:

Earthquakes is one of the natural events common is most areas of the earth leading to destruction of lives and properties. It varies from magnitude to level of impact which could range from mild, medium and heavy impact.

The actual destruction of the properties is not the vibration that occurs during earthquakes but rather the opening of the earth crust leading to failure of structures found within that area. For example, building crashes etc.
