One of the most dangerous disasters for human being is earthquake.

We all know that it has been

noticed that powerful earthquake could destroy and sweep the entire thing on the surface only in one
time quickly. Earthquake is the vibrations on the surface of earth, which is the result of a sudden release
of energy in the Earths crust that creates seismic effect. The seismic movement of a region mentions to
the regularity, category and range of earthquakes noticed over a period of time.

At the Earths face, earthquakes noticeable themselves by shaking and sometimes change of the ground.
It is very dangerous when the effects are not only destruction by the earthquake itself but also the
generated disaster. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the tsunami might be
happened. Earthquakes can also produce landslides, and irregularly volcanic movement. For the
example, tsunami in Aceh was firstly led by earthquake where people did not have any experienced
before and finally the huge wave traveled along the shore destroying everything.

Commonly, the word earthquake is used to express any seismic event whether natural or caused by
humans that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by break of geological thing,
but also by other events such as mountain eruption activity, displacement of land, explosion and etc.
Hypo center is an earthquakes spot of first crack is called its core whereas epicenter is precisely located
above it. The example from natural causes are tectonic and volcanic earthquake. The earthquake that
comes from the displacement or movement of continental plate usually called tectonic earthquake. Fault
commonly noticed in three primary forms where those forms have possibility which may create
earthquake: normal, reverse (thrust) and strike-slip. Briefly, volcanic earthquake comes from the activity
of an active mountain. We can see that there will be many earthquake created when an eruption of
volcanic mountain happens. However, an earthquake could be possibly created from human activities
like the explosion in the mining, nuclear trial, and bomb where the vibrations spread and affect the other
things.

An Earthquake usually measured by Richter scale. The Richter scale assigns a level number to calculate
the energy released by an earthquake that the scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale The Richter scale was
defined in 1935 for particular circumstances and instruments; the particular circumstances refer to it
being defined for Southern California. The Richter scales measures the energy released by an
earthquake. As calculated with a seismograph, an earthquake noticed 5.0 in the Richter scale has
trembling amplitude 10 times that of an earthquake that registered 4.0.

Earthquake early warning systems use earthquake discipline and the equipment of monitoring systems
to alert plans and people when shaking waves generated by an earthquake are probable to arrive at their
location. ShakeAlert, CISN, and ANSS are the example system. Nowadays, every Government tries to
make a good system for evacuation when earthquake happens. Usually, for the area which is the
earthquake is often appeared there are many alternatives way or path for people to save their life
