    This document discusses earthquakes, including their nature and origin, the seismic waves they create, and how quakes are measured and located by studying these waves. It addresses the different types of seismic waves like P-waves and S-waves, how their speeds are used to detect quakes, and belts of earthquake activity that coincide with tectonic plate boundaries.
