Instant EarthQuake information
An
earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible
shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of
energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can be
violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities. There are around
500,000 earthquakes each year. 100,000 of these can actually be felt. The
largest earthquake ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 (Mw) in Chile on May 22,
1960.
