    EARTHQUAKE is manifested as ground shaking caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. Earthquake energy may originate from different sources, such as dislocations of the crust, volcanic eruptions, or even by man-made explosions. Earthquakes can cause significant damage to structures, ground surface effects, e.g. Fractures, cracks, landslides, and human reactions to earthquake shaking.

    EARTHQUAKE
    An earthquake is manifested as ground shaking caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earths crust. This energy may originate from different sources, such as dislocations of the crust, volcanic eruptions, or even by man-made explosions.

    Intensity
    Intensity is a non-instrumental measure of damage to structures, ground surface effects, e.g. fractures, cracks, landslides, and human reactions to earthquake shaking. It is a descriptive method which has been traditionally used to established earthquake size. It is a subjective damage evaluation measurement because of its qualitative nature, related to population density, familiarity with earthquake and type of constructions.

    Magnitude
    Magnitude is a quantitative measure of earthquake size and fault dimensions. It is therefore an instrumental, quantitative and objective scale. It can be used to quantify the amount of energy released during fault ruptures. Magnitude is proportional to the logarithm of seismic energy. The difference between two units of magnitude is a factor of 1,000 on energy release.

    PACIFIC RING OF FIRE
    The Pacific Ring of Fire (or just The Ring of Fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt. About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 89% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.
