Monthly Test : Report Text

Earthquakes are natural phenomena that occur due to the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. This energy release creates seismic waves that cause the ground to shake. Earthquakes can happen anywhere in the world, but they are most common along tectonic plate boundaries. The intensity of an earthquake depends on the amount of energy released.
