Earthquakes are getting more usual these days. Earthquakes are measured mostly on the Richter magnitude scale mostly known as
Richter magnitude scale . At the Earth's surface, earthquakes creates shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the
epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the sea-bed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a
tsunami. Earthquakes can also initiate landslides in the hilly areas.
Everyday most of the time , there is an earthquake happening somewhere in the world, may be of smaller or larger magnitude. We normally do not feel smaller magnitude tremors.
Earthquake forecast may not be possible by scientists till date , but there are some websites which monitors the
live earthquakes all over the world.
