    The document is an explanation text about earthquakes. It begins with a general statement that earthquakes are one of the most deadly natural hazards that can strike without warning. It then explains the causes and effects, describing how earthquakes are caused by rapid releases of energy from movements in the earth's crust that create seismic waves. Large earthquakes can cause significant damage through violent shaking and aftershocks, while smaller quakes typically only cause slight tremors. The concluding statement is that earthquakes are greatly feared due to the terrible loss of life and economic damage they can cause.
