Earthquakes are sudden movements of the Earth's crust caused by tectonic plate shifts. These shifts can lead to catastrophic damage, especially when plates get stuck and release pressure suddenly. The location of an earthquake is called a fault, and the energy is released in seismic waves from the epicenter. Aftershocks follow the initial quake until stability is restored. The Richter scale measures the energy of these waves, with higher readings indicating more severe quakes. Despite their destructive potential, earthquakes remain unpredictable.
