An earthquake is a natural disaster caused by the movement of tectonic plates. It is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The intensity of an earthquake is measured using the Richter scale. Earthquakes can cause widespread damage, including collapsing buildings and triggering tsunamis. Preparedness measures, such as building codes and emergency plans, can help minimize harm during an earthquake.
