Earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and shifting of large sections of Earths rocky outer shell Earthquakes are among the most powerful events on earth and their results can be terrifying A severe earthquake may release energy 10000 times as great as that of the first atomic bomb Rock movements during an earthquake can make rivers change their course Earthquakes can trigger landslides that cause great damage and loss of life Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series of huge destructive waves called tsunamis that flood coasts for many miles . Are You Prepared To Ride It Out? We have heard it so many times –the “big one” is coming. In our lifetime, we still haven’t seen or felt that huge earthquake. That shouldn’t stop us from preparing. .
