    Earthquakes

    Earthquakes – being among the most deadly natural hazards – strike without any
    prior warning, leaving catastrophe in their wake with terrible loss of human lives as
    well as economic loss.
    Technically, an earthquake (also known as tremor, quake or temblor) is a kind of
    vibration through the earth's crust. This vibration occurs as a result of powerful
    movement of rocks in the earth's crust. These powerful movements trigger a rapid
    release of energy that creates seismic waves that travel through the earth. Earthquakes
    are usually brief, but may repeat over a long period of time. (Earth Science. 2001)
    Earthquakes are classifified as large and small. Large earthquakes usually begin
    with slight tremors but rapidly take form of violent shocks. The vibrations from a
    large earthquake last for a few days known as aftershocks. Small earthquakes are
    usually slight tremors and do not cause much damage. Large earthquakes are known
    to take down buildings and cause death and injury (Richter, 1935).
    According to some statistics, there may be an average of 500,000 earthquakes
    every year but only about 100,000 can be felt and about 100 or so can cause damage
    each year.
    Earthquakes are dreaded by everyone.
