An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
Earthquakes can be violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time
Earthquakes happen the most on fault lines, the same as anywhere else in the world.
The most major fault line in the US is the San Andreas Fault, located in the middle of California, also streching through some parts of Alaska.
