Earthquake is one of the natural calamities. Its
origin can be traced to the early days of earth
formation. It is responsible for a lot of damage
to living and non-living beings. For many
centuries man didn’t know why earthquakes
occur and how they occur and to what extent
they would damage. He only felt that mother
earth was angry with him and so caused the
earthquake and he always feared it.
It was left to Aristotle, the great Greek
philosopher, to relate the phenomenon of
earthquake to physical factors. According to
Aristotle, when the air compressed within the
arch escapes, it shakes some part of the land.
This emission is called volcanic activity. When
the volcano bursts, lots of lava, gas etc come
out of the earth and fail out. This causes
pressure and imbalance and results in producing
earthquake waves in the surrounding areas. It
was thus identified that volcanic activity is one
of the reasons for earthquakes. The volcanic
activity results in faulting. To fill up the new
faults the movement of earth takes place. This
causes tremor.
