    Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust due to the movement of tectonic plates. They can be measured using a seismograph and occur in areas with active faults, such as California, Indonesia, and Japan. Major earthquakes violently shake the land surface, destroy buildings, and can injure or kill living things.

    NATURAL DISASTER

    VOLCANOS AND EARTHQUAKES


    EARTH QUAKES

    EARTH QUAKE MEANS SUDDEN


    SHAKING OF EARTH SURFACE
    DUE TO RELEASE OF ENERGY
    FROM EARTH’S CRUST

    When tectonic plates bump at each


    other energy is released at earth’s
    crust
    Earthquakes

     Seismograph is a device for measure for measuring the earth quake

     Earthquake happens where tectonic plates have active faults

     California Indonesia and Japan has more number of earthquakes


    Effects of earth quake

     The land surface will shake violently and break open


     The buildings will be destroyed
    ​  THE LIVING THINGS WILL GET HURT
