Earthquakes are sudden and powerful natural events that can cause widespread damage and loss of life. They occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, creating seismic waves. The impact of an earthquake depends on its magnitude, depth, and location. In addition to the immediate destruction, earthquakes can lead to secondary hazards such as tsunamis, landslides, and fires. Understanding earthquake-related terms helps in better communication during emergencies and improves preparedness. Scientists use tools like seismographs to monitor and study these events, while communities rely on early warning systems and evacuation plans to stay safe.
