    An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth'scrust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

    and that causes the plates on the earth to shift, causing buildings to fall over, and bridges to heave up and break,etc.

    Ques You know what one earthquake said to another ?
