Question

100-150 words on earthquake​

Answer 1

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent enough to propel objects and people into the air, and wreak destruction across entire cities. The seismicity, or seismic activity, of an area is the frequency, type, and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. The word tremor is also used for non-earthquake seismic rumbling.

Earthquake is a tremor caused by a violent movement of a part of the earth’s crust. It may occur owing to volcanic eruptions or sudden dislocation in the rock structure. Tremor or quivering of the earth with a few severe shocks on earth takes place in an earthquake. It does not last for a longer period than a few minutes.

Earthquake causes damage to large structural constructions, and human life and property. Trees are uprooted. Tanks and rivers are affected with unusual commotion. It is better to remain in the open for the inmates of a high-rise building during the earthquake. In India, earthquake created havoc in Bihar in 1934. In Japan, it is more or less a common phenomenon. It is a natural calamity. It is sudden, and hence no precaution is possible. It can happen at any hour of the day or at night or during any season of the year at any place.
