    Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. They can generate huge waves over 30 meters tall and trigger landslides and fires which damage infrastructure like pipes. The most powerful earthquakes are capable of destroying cities and killing many people. There are three main types of faults: normal, reverse, and strike-slip. The largest earthquakes recorded include the 1906 San Francisco earthquake which killed 2,500 people and the 1960 Chile earthquake which was the strongest ever measured at 9.5 on the Richter scale. Earthquakes in Slovenia include one in Ljubljana in 1895 which caused casualties.
