an earthquake is shaking or sometimes displacement of ground as a result of a sudden release of energy in the earths crust that created seismic waves.
The 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean was caused by an undersea megathrust earthquake. The tsunami took place on the 26th of December.

A place where an earthquake has occurred in the past but not recently is known as a seismic gap.
The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the point within the Earth where the earthquake actually occurred (known as the focus or hypocentre). From this point on the surface the waves of the earthquake radiate outward like the ripples in a pond when a stone is thrown in.

Because the mud could cover the whole place that the earthquake took place inAnd...there would be 2 much...
Heavy rain can be danger of liquefaction because of the wet mud that can cover the whole place that the earthquake took place in. Also heavy rain can make an earthquake much more dangerous.
