What type of damage is specifically excluded under the Earthquake Form?

The Earthquake Form is designed to cover specific types of damage that can occur as a result of seismic activity. However, it also outlines certain exclusions to avoid overlapping coverage with other insurance policies and to keep premiums manageable.

Tidal waves, often referred to in insurance contexts as tsunamis, are specifically excluded under the Earthquake Form due to their nature as a natural disaster that typically results from seismic activity under the ocean. Insurers categorize tidal waves separately because they are directly related to oceanic movements and not solely the ground-shaking effects of an earthquake itself. Therefore, any damage incurred from tidal waves, despite their potential correlation with earthquakes, falls outside the coverage of the Earthquake Form.

In contrast, the other options, such as land slip, property explosion, and electrical surges, may or may not relate directly to earthquake activity but generally fall under different risk categories or specific policy provisions, and thus are treated differently in insurance contexts. This emphasis on distinguishing types of natural disasters is essential for ensuring clarity in policy terms and coverage responsibilities.
