    This document contains information about earthquakes. It describes earthquakes as violent movements of rocks in the Earth's crust that can be brief or repeat over long periods of time. Both large and small earthquakes are mentioned, with big earthquakes able to damage buildings and cause injuries or death. Earthquakes can also trigger tsunamis and landslides. The magnitude of earthquakes is measured on a numerical scale, with a 7 or higher capable of widespread damage. An ancient Chinese device used dragons and frogs to detect the direction of earthquakes.

    EARTHQUAKE
    An earthquake is a violent movement of the rocks in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes are
    usually quite brief, but may repeat over a long period of time.
    There are large earthquakes and small earthquakes. Big earthquakes can take down
    buildings and cause death and injury. The study of earthquakes is called seismology.[1]
    When the earth moves in an earthquake, it can cause waves in the ocean, and if a wave
    grows large enough, it's called a "tsunami". A tsunami can do just as much death and
    destruction as an earthquake. Landslides can happen, too.
    Earthquakes are measured with a seismometer. The magnitude of an earthquake, and the
    intensity of shaking, is measured on a numerical scale. On the scale, 3 or less is scarcely
    noticeable, and magnitude 7 (or more) causes damage over a wide area.
    The ancient Chinese also used a device that looked like a jar with dragons on the top
    surrounded by frogs with their mouths open. When an earthquake occurred, a ball fitted
    into each dragon's mouth would drop out of the dragon's mouth into the frog's. The
    position of the frog which received a ball indicated the direction of the earthquake.
