Earthquake is the trembling or shaking movement of the surface of earth. It is a sudden violent shaking of the earth surface occurs naturally and causes great destruction because of the strong movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action. It is a natural disturbance which can be characterized as convulsion or concussion of the ground. It originates at any point within the crust and pushes a mass of rock to slip suddenly. A huge energy gets released and travels through rocks as waves, which causes vibrations and shaking of the earth surface. The word earthquake reveals its meaning very clearly (earth means ground or soil and quake means shake or tremble).
