There are two sentences:
The road was blocked WITH a massive snowdrift.
The ancient city was devastated BY the 1995 earthquake.
Why in the first sentence is used the preposition ‘with’ while in the second one ‘by’?
Thanks in advance.
PS I can’t remember where I got the sentence The road was blocked WITH a massive snowdrift from. So I can’t guarantee it’s correct.
