Earthquake and Tsunami Warnings. Understanding the Science and Saving Lives.
What is an Earthquake? An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s surface. These movements release energy that travels in waves, shaking the land and everything on it. Earthquakes can cause buildings to collapse, roads to crack, and landslides to occur. In coastal areas, earthquakes under the ocean can also trigger tsunamis—massive sea waves that rush toward the shore with great force.
