Earthquake (event)

The name or term "earthquake" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see earthquake (disambiguation).

An Earthquake is a seismic event in which the ground shakes. Naturally occurring earthquakes are typically caused by the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates along a fault line. Earthquakes vary in intensity. Strong earthquakes near populated areas can be quite destructive.
