EARTHQUAKE
An earthquake is sudden shaking of the earth�s surface that often causes a lot of
damage. It is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth�s crust
that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes may happen naturally or a result of human
activities. Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslide,
mine blasts and nuclear experiments.
At the Earth�s surface, earthquakes can be seen from the shaking or displacement of
the ground. Sometimes, they cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and
damage of property. There are two types of earthquake that occurs naturally, they
are tectonic and volcanic earthquakes.
Tectonic earthquakes are earthquakes that are caused by tectonic plates getting
stuck and putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes so great that rocks
give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.
Volcanic earthquakes are earthquakes which are caused by the movement of magma in
volcanoes. In volcanic regions earthquakes may be caused both by tectonic faults
and by the movement of magma in volcanoes. Such earthquakes can be an early warning
of volcanic eruption.
The size of an earthquake is usually reported using Richter scale or a related
Moment scale. Earthquakes which are 3 on the Richter scale or lower are hard to
notice. Whereas, those which are 7 on the Richter scale causes serious damage over
large areas.
