As far as the environmental problems which are widely prevalent in the twenty-first century are concerned‚ earthquakes definitely stand out as the most widespread one. Even though most of the government takes measures to rout out earthquakes‚ they are disappointed

state what the cause of earthquakes was. In 1960‚ Michell noted that “earthquakes and the waves of energy that they make are caused by shifting masses of rock‚ miles below the surface” in a scientific memoir (USGS‚ 32). In order for you to completely understand the process of an earthquake you must first understand the process of how an earthquake is measured. An earthquake may not be able to be predicted at the moment but the intensity and magnitude of the earthquake can be measured and categorized
