4. Introduction
An earthquake – also called a quake, tremor, or temblor – is the
shaking of the Earth's surface resulting from a sudden release
of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
Earthquakes can range in intensity, from those so weak they
cannot be felt, to those violent enough to propel objects and
people into the air, damage critical infrastructure, and wreak
destruction across entire cities. Earthquakes can occur naturally
or be induced by human activities, such as mining, fracking,
and nuclear weapons testing or by geological faults, but also
by volcanism, landslides, and other seismic events. The
frequency, type, and size of earthquakes in an area define its
seismic activity, reflecting the average rate of seismic energy
release.
