What is an earthquake?. A earthquake is a shaking of the earths crust and is a geological phenomenon . Earthquakes can cause intense vibration of the ground, soil liquefaction, and distortion of the ground. Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere but are most common along the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Earthquakes are primarily caused of movement of the tectonic plates.

Most Atlantic hurricanes begin life as organized clusters of thunderstorms off the west coast of Africa. These thunderstorms form along waves in the prevailing trade winds. The waves, called easterly waves, can be more than 2500 km (1550 mi) long. The cluster of thunderstorms is called a tropical disturbance.. Hurricane Seasons. Saffir. -Simpson Scale.
