Earthquakes are sudden ground movements caused by the release of energy stored in Earth’s crust, typically along faults where tectonic plates meet. This energy radiates in the form of seismic waves, which can shake the ground, damage infrastructure, and trigger secondary hazards like landslides or tsunamis. While most earthquakes are too small to be felt, larger ones can have devastating impacts on communities and ecosystems. Researchers study seismic activity to better understand the mechanics of Earth’s interior and to improve early warning systems, which are crucial for reducing risks in vulnerable regions.
