An earthquake is the sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates, which creates stress and leads to the release of energy in seismic waves. The focus is the point inside the earth where the earthquake originates, while the epicenter is the point on the surface directly above it. Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale and can have various impacts, including ground shaking, injury, economic costs, and natural disasters like tsunamis.
