    Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of built-up energy in the Earth's crust along fault lines located at tectonic plate boundaries or mid-ocean ridges. Most earthquakes occur in the top 25 kilometers of the crust but can happen as deep as 660 kilometers below the surface. The built-up energy is released as seismic waves that cause the shaking and movement of the Earth during an earthquake.

    Teknik Gempa

    Earthquake Engineering
    • Is a sudden motion or
    trembling in the Earth.
    The motion is caused by
    the quick release of
    slowly accumulated
    energy in the form of
    seismic waves. Most
    earthquakes are
    produced along faults,
    tectonic plate
    boundaries, or along the
    mid-oceanic ridges.
    What is actually happen?
    Earth Crust
    Earth tectonic plate
    Earthquake events organized according to depth (yellow (shallow) = surface to 25
    kilometers below the surface, red (intermediate) = 26 to 75 kilometers below the surface,
    and black (deep) = 76 to 660 kilometers below the surface).
