Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden movement along faults within the Earth. This movement releases stored-up energy in the form of seismic waves, which cause the ground surface to shake. Fault movement is typically a response to long-term deformation and the buildup of stress. Seismic waves from large earthquakes provide valuable information about the … Read more
