By which I mean what is the actual cause of death for most people killed by earthquakes? I was reading a list of the 10 deadliest earthquakes ever and a number happened hundreds or even over a 1,000 years ago. This would be in a time where I presume people would have been less likely to live in large buildings and get buried under rubble. So how exactly were they killed?

Normally it is through things falling on people especially buildings, one of the worst disasters was when people were living in caves and a whole cave system collapsed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1556_Shaanxi_earthquake
