One natural geological phenomenon which we are not yet able to predict accurately. An earthquake is a sudden tremor or movement of earth"s crust which lasts for a very short time. It originate naturally at or below the surface of the earth. We often hear about the earthquake in news only once in a while, even though earthquake occurs all time, all over the earth. This is because the vast majority of these quakes are very week. Major earthquakes are very much less frequent but are most destructive. Major earthquakes usually do not occur alone; when one such earthquake happens, there is usually another one at a nearby location.
