Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Earthquake"

A: Merely means 'only' or 'just'.

I'm not merely concerned about earthquake, but also the tsunami.
Same meaning:
I'm not only concerned about the earthquake, but also the tsunami.
I'm not just concerned about the earthquake, but also the tsunami.

Using 'the' here is a little unnatural without the context. if you are talking generally, I would say: ...about earthquakes, but also tsunamis.

But the 'the' here could mean 'the potential big one that we have been talking about':

A: We're due for a massive earthquake at some point. It's scary thinking about it, right?
B: Yeah, but living on the coast, I'm not merely concerned about the earthquake, but also the tsunami.

A: "causes" is present tense, "caused" is past tense.

例文:
1. There was a strong earthquake in Japan two days ago.
2. The earthquake's aftermath was devastating to the villagers.
3. The earthquake caused landslides.
4. I don't want an earthquake to happen.
5. Earthquakes are scary.

A: Our city was destroyed by an earthquake.

A: There is no difference besides the way you say it honestly. They both have the same meaning and are grammatically correct.

A: It’s understandable but “to” would only be used with sorry if you were saying something like “I am saying sorry to/ I wanted to say sorry to...”.

Otherwise in natural English we say “sorry for” or “sorry about” both to express an apology or sympathy - “I feel sorry for/about...” or “I am sorry for/about...”

A: The sentence should be "In 2011, we had a huge earthquake in my country, causing all transportation in the city to become damaged."

You can also say:

"In 2011, we had a huge earthquake in my country, causing all the transportation in the city to become damaged."

Both of the sentences still mean the same thing.

The reason why "All the transportation" is correct is because
"The" is a determiner. Determiners are used before nouns.
In this case transportation is the noun in the sentence.

A: Earthquake is a noun and seismic is an adjective.

The earthquake in Chile in 1960 was the largest seismic event in history.

A: They both mean the same thing.

"Seism" is just the scientific word for "earthquake", like how we get seismograph (an instrument that measures earthquakes).

We use "earthquake" more often.

A: "Seismically isolated" seems interpretive. For more literal translation, "earthquake proofed" or "fitted with earthquake countermeasures"
