What are earthquakes and why are
they dangerous?
EARTHQUAKE is an underground
vibration of the earth's surface that
occurs as a result of sudden
displacements in the earth's crust or
upper mantle and is transmitted over
long distances in the form of
vibrations.
Earthquakes cause the destruction of
buildings and are usually on the
surface. It is necessary to move away
from buildings, since their debris is
the greatest danger to human life.
