Earthquake Images: An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can be violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.
What do you mean by earthquake? An earthquake is the sudden shaking and trembling of the Earth’s surface caused by the release of energy, which creates seismic waves. This energy is typically released when there is sudden movement along a fault line, which is a break in the Earth’s crust. The constant, slow movement of tectonic plates builds up stress, and when that stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, they slip, causing an earthquake.
