Answered by moonwatcher

Answer:

An earthquake 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.

Explanation:

The San Andreas fault has been the cause behind a number of significant earthquakes, such as the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, and the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989. A shaking in San Francisco that measures 3.2 on the Richter scale is an example of an earthquake.
