help me I'm in earth science help mewith this homework

what would happen to the southwest if they had an earthquake
why would this happen in the event of an earthquake?
what could these people do to reduce the risk in the event of an earthquake?

The southwest portion of the city is the industrial segment and contains several major petroleum processing plants and chemical factories. Is located on loose alluvial sediments

all I came up with is the reaction from the chemicals and petroleum would cause an outbreak of fires and all I know is that alluvial sediment is clay or silt or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down

HELP me!!!!!

Earth!
1. If an Earthquake occurs in the Southwest, the area that is near the earthquake may either be destroyed, leveled, or the sea level will rise. Grounds may split and buildings will crumble. Landslides and mudslides are possible, and awakening a volcanoe is also possible if near one.

2.The cause of an earthquake is the sifting in the earth's platetectonics. Since the plates are moving against each other, an earthquake is thus made.

3. What people can do to reduce damage is that they can bolt furniture down, make sturdier buildings and always have an earthquake warning drills just in case another earthquake may occur. People can probably bored up their houses, and keep belongings safe. Afterwards, during or before the earthquake, people should evacuate the area and go to a safe area.

edit: These kinds of questions are easy. You just look up earthquakes and safety percautions. I did this out of memory.

haha! If this is hard for you, then it is just a breeze for me. I learned this kind of thing from 6th or 4th grade. Please make your questions more specific and hinted information more noticable. There, you got your answer, you answered it yourself right? If you did, then you never needed my help.

Mysteria, since you are idiotic enough to ask for HW help on the internet, I wouldn't reccomend insulting the person that helped you...dumbass.

Don't forget that most earthquake-prone areas have special building parameters they need to abide by, lol building codes.
