Earthquakes An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the crust of the earth caused by underground volcanic action or by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the surface. The volcanic action and shifting rocks create strain which continues to build to a sudden release of pressure resulting in a shock wave. The vibrations produced in the crust can vary from barely noticeable to enormously destructive. Shock waves can be classified into two broad categories. Waves that send particles oscillating

EARTHQUAKE Introduction An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the earth’s tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur where the earth’s plates meet along plate boundaries (see plate tectonics page for more information on this).For example as two plates move towards each other‚ one can be pushed down under the other one into the mantle. If this plate gets stuck it

Earthquakes are one of the most destructive natural disasters. It is when the stored energy beneath the Earth’s surface is discharged and shakes the ground. The impact of this event is one of the most traumatic ones because it can put long term effects on a large area. They are proven to be unpredictable but once it strikes‚ all in a few seconds‚ cities and towns are completely flattened. Continue on to discover more about this dangerous calamity. Did you ever know that the earth can also move
