    Earthquakes are caused by electricity trapped within the Earth's crust and can cause significant damage. They release stress within the Earth and can be triggered by human activities like mining or nuclear weapons tests. When earthquakes occur, they can cause buildings and infrastructure to collapse by producing seismic waves that make the ground and mountains unstable. Earthquakes have killed many people in the past, such as in Japan where over 20,000 lives were lost, and caused billions in damage that required years of recovery efforts. While earthquakes cannot be prevented, communities can take steps to minimize their impact and protect human life.

    Causes and Effects of Earthquakes

    Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that occurs as a result of electricity trapped in the
    Earth's crust, and its miles one of the maximum dangerous herbal phenomena of its capability
    to spoil entire towns and reason tremendous human losses. Over the decades, earthquakes
    prompted very extraordinary harm like what happened in Japan and Indonesia whilst the
    tsunami struck them, and lots of different countries

    Earthquakes constitute a great and imminent hazard to humanity, but it's miles one of the
    basic natural geological phenomena, as it's miles a manner to relieve what is referred to as
    stress throughout the surface of the earth. Seismic waves reason the Earth's surface to vibrate
    ‫و‬And additionally another motive for earthquakes by means of humans at some stage in the
    creation of some works, which includes digging tunnels for roads or railways, or even
    because of detonating mines while sporting out such works. This rock falls may additionally
    occur as a result of the crumble of mines dug inside the floor, even though such human
    activities may It produces imperceptible seismic waves, but a few other activities may also
    have a super and exquisite impact similar to those big herbal earthquakes, consisting of
    conducting navy exams for a few nuclear weapons including bombs in the floor, and such
    tests have been banned because of their grave risks that It ought to end result in huge seismic
    waves.

    When earthquakes occur, plenty of issues occurs, One of these troubles is causing the autumn
    of the ground stage or falling rocks from the mountain tops, as well as touchdown in areas
    that incorporate caves or underground cavities, which causes the destruction of installations
    and infrastructures inclusive of buildings and roads, Another trouble is endangering human
    life. Earthquakes have killed hundreds of human beings like what passed off in Japan after
    they misplaced their lives 20,000 and lost greater than 2,500 human beings, the cost had to
    restore the damage caused by the tsunami in japan was about 2 hundred billion dollar
    In conclusion, earthquakes are very dangerous, but they're a herbal coincidence and people
    can't forestall them, but it is able to take preventive measures to lessen harm as lots as viable
