Aftershocks usually follow a major earthquake. These are smaller earthquakes that occur in the same area after the main earthquake. They can continue for hours, days, or even months after the initial event.
The kind of motion that causes an earthquake is called faulting, which occurs when there is sudden movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. This movement releases stored energy in the form of seismic waves, leading to an earthquake.
The Valdivia earthquake, which occurred in Chile in 1960, was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. It caused widespread damage in the region, including the destruction of buildings, roads, and infrastructure, as well as triggering tsunamis that caused further devastation along the coast. The earthquake also resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries.
Earthquake intensity is measured using the modified Mercalli scale or the macroseismic scale. Their values are derived based on eye witness accounts of the violence of the shaking of the ground, the damage done to buildings and other structures and based on ground surface accelerations measured by seismometers.
Japan had Tsunami and an Earthquake Kansas had an earthquake
A really BIG one, it did lots of damge
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
The earthquake damaged your grammer :P

The Eurasian and the Indian tectonic plates had collided, which means that it was the Passive Earthquake also known as the Conservative.
