    What is earthquake?

    An earthquake is a shaking of the


    ground caused by the sudden
    breaking and movement of large
    sections (tectonic plates) of the
    earth's rocky outermost crust. The
    edges of the tectonic plates are
    marked by faults (or fractures).
    Most earthquakes occur along the
    fault lines when the plates slide
    past each other or collide against
    each other.

    The shifting masses send out


    shock waves that may be
    powerful enough to

    alter the surface of the


    Earth, thrusting up cliffs
    and opening great cracks in
    the ground and
