Basic Concepts Related To Earthquakes
Earthquakes are tremors or shaking of the earth which lasts for a short time. It can cause the ground to tremble and shake. They occur all the time at different places around the earth. Earthquake can occur on land or under the sea floor. They occur at different intensities, some being strong, most being weak. Strong earthquakes can damage buildings, roads, dams and other constructions and can make them fall. Due to this many people can get hurt or killed. Earthquakes also cause landslides, flood and tsunamis when they occur.
Earthquakes are very difficult to predict before hand and it is difficult to tell where they will occur exactly. This makes it difficult to take precautions in advance. Most of the recent earthquakes in Nepal, Afghanistan and Jammu and Kashmir have caused tremendous loss of life because people were ill-prepared.
While an earthquake cannot be predicted, we can tell which areas and places are most likely to be hit by earthquakes. By taking measures such as constructing earthquake resistant buildings and educating people about the actions they must take during an earthquake we can reduce the loss of life and damage to property.

An earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of earth surface. Earthquakes results from the movement of the earths tectonic plates . They occur where the plates rub along their boundaries.
