What caused the ground to shakes so strongly and how is shaking recorded?
The ground shaking is caused by an earthquake in which two tectonic plates rub against each other or overlap. This happens mainly on fault lines (where two tectonic plates shift). The ancient Chinese used a system in which a ball would be in a carved Dragons mouth and depending on how big the earthquake was (how much shaking and destruction) the ball would fall into certain cups. Now we use seismographs.
