A movement or vibration in earth?
An earthquake is the movement or vibration in the earth caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere. It results in the shaking of the ground and can lead to significant damage and destruction if severe enough.
What are two factors that can determine the amount of destruction that results from an earthquake?
Two factors that can determine the amount of destruction from an earthquake are the magnitude (strength) of the earthquake and the distance of the epicenter from densely populated areas. Stronger earthquakes and those closer to populated regions tend to cause more significant damage.
