WEB EARTHQUAKE Definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary
What is WEB EARTHQUAKE?
An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at certain points. When the stress on the fault becomes too great, the plates suddenly slip, releasing a lot of energy. This energy causes the ground to shake.
Hundreds of earthquakes occur on Earth every day. Most of them are small and barely detectable by most people. However, some earthquakes can be very large and cause widespread damage and loss of life.
An earthquake is an intense shaking of the Earth's surface. The shaking is caused by movements in the Earth's crust. These movements can be caused by a variety of factors, including volcanic eruptions, landslides, and nuclear explosions.
An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the Earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault. Earthquakes can cause a variety of problems, including ground shaking, landslides, tsunamis, and fires.
