Earthquakes in GCC An Earthquake known also as tremor is resulted from a sudden release of energy ‚which takes place in the earths crust‚ which then creates seismic waves. They are vibrations triggered by movement of rocks that have been strained (deformed) beyond their elastic limit. This activity called seismicity or seismism of an area refers to type ‚ size and frequency over a time period. Earthquakes are measured using many instruments ( up to atleast 20 different types
