The effects of an earthquake depend on many factors, not just the amount of energy released at the focus. what are two other factors that can increase the damage caused by an earthquake?

sediments that contain water and a shallower depth of the earthquake's focus
loose sediments and a greater depth of the earthquake's focus
solid bedrock and a closer position to the epicenter of the earthquake
steep slopes and a position that is farther from the epicenter of the earthquake

Loose sediments and a greater depth of the earthquake's focus.

Explanation:

Earthquake is a violent, sudden and shaking effect of the ground due to the generation of seismic activity inside the earth geosphere. It sometimes causes huge destruction of the geosphere, lithosphere and biosphere depending upon the intensity and magnitude of seismic waves.

Loose sediments and a greater depth of the earthquake's focus. : Loose and non-aggregated sediments, experience stronger motion of the grounds in the earthquakes compared to bedrocks as they are unstable. Also greater depth will affect the geosphere with more intensity. Damage to the structure is the least which are built over the solid bedrocks.
