      Earthquakes are one of the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena. They are caused by sudden movements along fault lines or weaknesses in the Earth’s crust which result in the release of seismic waves.

      The exact cause of an earthquake is usually impossible to determine, although tectonic activity such as plate movements, volcanic activity, and underground nuclear tests are among the causes.
