About Earthquakes
Earthquakes are seismic events which rattle the earth. Tectonic plates which press and grind in the Earth's crust release incredible amounts of energy, causing earthquakes. Pictures often show devastating results, depending on the quality of housing prevalent in the earthquake area.
