Earthquakes
Earthquakes are powerful natural phenomena that occur due to the sudden release of energy within the Earth's crust, often caused by tectonic plate movements. These seismic events can lead to widespread destruction, triggering tsunamis, landslides, and structural collapses. The severity of an earthquake is measured using the Richter scale or Moment Magnitude Scale (Mw), while its impact varies based on depth, location, and local infrastructure resilience. Understanding the causes and effects of earthquakes is crucial for preparedness, mitigation, and response strategies. Learn how seismic activity influences our world, the science behind plate tectonics, and how communities can stay safe before, during, and after an earthquake.
