Yes, earthquakes are a natural process that occur due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates shift or collide, it can cause the ground to shake, resulting in an earthquake.

It is not! An earthquake is the sudden slip of two rock surfaces, while erosion is a slow process of water or wind wearing away at a rock surface.


How does a seismograph measure an earthquake and what is the process involved in detecting seismic activity?

A seismograph measures an earthquake by detecting and recording the vibrations caused by the movement of the Earth's crust. When an earthquake occurs, the seismograph's sensors pick up the seismic waves and produce a graphical representation called a seismogram. This helps scientists analyze the earthquake's magnitude, location, and depth. The process involves placing seismographs in different locations to detect and record seismic activity, which is then analyzed to understand the earthquake's characteristics.
