What is shaking and ground rupture?

Shaking and Ground rupture are the effects of earthquake. Ground shaking is the disruptive up and down and sideways motion experienced during an earthquake. And, Ground Rupture is the creation of new or the renewed movements of old fractures, oftentimes with the two blocks on both sides moving in opposite directions.


What is earthquake hazard?

Earthquake hazard refers to the potential for ground shaking, surface rupture, ground displacement, and other associated effects that can result from an earthquake event. It represents the probability of an earthquake occurring in a specific area and the level of damage it can cause to people, buildings, infrastructure, and the environment. Understanding earthquake hazard is crucial for developing effective mitigation measures to reduce the risk and impact of earthquakes.

A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden release of energy in Earth's crust?

An earthquake is a natural phenomenon characterized by the shaking of the ground due to the release of energy from tectonic plate movements beneath the Earth's surface. These sudden vibrations can vary in intensity and can lead to widespread destruction, depending on the magnitude and location of the earthquake.
