An earthquake causes vibrations to move through the ground (in simple terms this makes the ground shake). If the earthquake is large and releases a lot of energy then the amplitude of the shaking (a bit like the height of a water wave) gets larger and so does the ability of the earthquake to cause damage.

What is the shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake called?
The shaking of the ground that precedes an earthquake is called a foreshock. Foreshocks can occur hours, days, or even weeks before the main earthquake event.
What measures how much ground movement during an earthquake?
Seismometers measure ground movement during an earthquake. These instruments detect and record the vibrations caused by the seismic waves generated by the earthquake.

Waves that can make the ground roll like ocean waves they usually cause the most damage during an earthquake?
These are known as seismic surface waves. They travel along the Earth's surface and cause the ground to move in a rolling motion. They are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake as they can generate strong shaking and displacement of structures.
