Earthquake

An Earthquake is the shaking caused when tectonic activity in an area causes the release of energy from the rock. Most commonly occuring on tectonic plate boundaries, earthquakes also occur along faults where previous movement has occured.

Earthquakes cause a significant natural hazard to populations living in areas prone to earthquakes and responses to the hazard vary with economic development.

The most powerful earthquakes occur at destructive tectonic plate boundaries. Earthquakes are caused by faults in th earths boundaries. This means that if God created the Earth he made mistakes which now cost people their lives. It could be a morale to us all - do not rush a job. It also could teach us not to try to create a world in 6 days because it will contain faults.
