What is an Earthquake  An earthquake is a sudden violent motion of the earth, which lasts for a short time, within a very limited region.  Most of the time earthquakes last for less than a minute, but sometimes shock may last, for as long as 3 to 4 minutes.

Why Do Earthquakes Happen?  Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault and release energy.  This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake.
