An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and movement of large sections (tectonic plates) of the earth's rocky outermost.

PLATE TECTONICS ( INDIA+ AUSTRALIA)

PLATE There are thousands of earthquakes across the Earth each day. Most are too small to be detected without monitoring equipment, but some are powerful enough to destroy a city. Earthquakes are most common at plate boundaries. The relative motion of two plates releases energy into the crust and causes faults to form and move.

Seismology measures the magnitude and location of earthquakes

EARTH QUAKE RELIFE

AMAZING FACTS There are about 8,000 earthquakes a day. That's one every 11 seconds! Only 1 in 5 earthquakes can be felt by people, and only 1 in 5,000 causes any damage. Earth quakes last from less than a minute to 3-5 minutes Moon has quakes too

What we feel is just 10% of what’s going inside Induced seismicity Earthquake Storms Animals can predict Quakes!
