An earthquake – also called a quake, tremor, or temblor – is the shaking of the Earth's surface resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
2 days ago · Earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses move in relation to one another.
Feb 6, 2023 · Most are too minor to feel but strong earthquakes can cause massive destruction—like this bridge that collapsed in Taiwan after an magnitude 6.8 earthquake in September 2022 caused severe...
2 days ago · The earthquake information includes: CUSP ID, magnitude, date, time, epicenter coordinates and depth. The station information includes name and/or code, location coordinates, and peak velocity and acceleration values.
Oct 19, 2023 · Hundreds of earthquakes occur on Earth everyday. Most of them are small, barely detectable by most people. But occasionally there is a much more significant quake. On average, a major earthquake —one with a magnitude of 7.0-7.9—strikes somewhere on the planet more than once a month.
EMSC (European Mediterranean Seismological Centre) provides real time earthquake information for seismic events with magnitude larger than 5 in the European Mediterranean area and larger than 7 in the rest of the world.
Oct 18, 2022 · Spawning below Earth's surface and carrying immense energy, earthquakes can strike without warning. It therefore comes as no surprise that they are one of our planet's deadliest natural...
An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.
Apr 4, 2023 · KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 — A strong earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale hit North Sumatra, Indonesia at 10.59pm yesterday, according to the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).
