An earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of earth which lasts for a very short time. It is caused by a disturbance inside the earth's crust. There can be a great loss to life and property. Vibrations caused by an earthquake travel in the form of waves along the surface of the earth. These waves are known as Seismic waves.Earthquakes of high magnitudes (7.0 and above on Richter Scale) can cause serious damage to human life and property. Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Charles Francis Richter, an American seismologist and physicist is known as the creator of the Richter magnitude scale.
