Essay on Earthquake in English: A complete essay on earthquake
Earthquake, a great trembling
or shaking movement on the surface of the earth. It is a sudden violent shaking of
the earth's surface, occurs naturally, and causes huge destruction of the
complete land structures because of the strong movements within the earth's
crust or volcanic action. It is a natural disturbance type of phenomenon which
can be characterized as the concussion of the ground. In Nepal, around 10 small
earthquakes use to occur. It originates at any point within the crust of the
earth and pushes a mass of rock to slip suddenly by which huge energy
releases in the form of a wave. A point of the land vertically upwards from inside the land where the earthquake starts or
originated is called the epicenter and the point from where rupture starts is called
Most of the earthquakes occurred
are with minor tremors however larger earthquakes with strong force generally
begin with slight tremors but soon get changed into more violent shocks and release
more energy. An earthquake with strong waves generally ends up with huge and forced
vibrations at long distances from the center point of arousal. It gradually
diminishes with reduced aftershocks. The focus of earthquakes becomes the existing
point where it originates. A tsunami in the oceans is also occurred only due to the earthquake. When the earthquake inside the ocean occurs, energy uses to go
through the water by which huge waves are formed which are called a tsunami.
Before a few years ago in Japan, a huge tsunami occurred which causes great
destruction in the field of humanity and everything in Japan. Japan is the
country where most of the huge earthquakes are seen on a daily basis.
The magnitude of the earthquake
is used to be measured with the help of scales which are known as the Richter scale, moment magnitude scale, modified
Marcella scale, etc. An earthquake is a life-threatening event that is
responsible for the huge damage to the entire living beings on the planet.
Earlier, it was quite hard to imagine the magnitude and power of the earthquake
before or after its occurrence. However, nowadays, it has become easy to
calculate the magnitude as well as the intensity of the earthquake because of the development
of various technological advancements in the world.
On April 25, 2015 A.D., a huge earthquake that has a magnitude of 7.2 Richter scale occurred which cause huge damage to Nepal. More than 8,000 people were killed and nearly 22,000
people were injured due to an earthquake. This earthquake damages a lot of
heritages in Nepal as well. Few of them were very old nearly 500 years ago.
Nepal suffered a lot due to this natural disaster. Similarly, there are many countries
which were suffered a lot. Japan is one of the most triggered countries for the
earthquake.
Earthquake is a natural
calamity which can occur anytime and anywhere on the surface of the planet. It
causes lots of disturbance to living beings and useful natural resources as
well. Nothing is more destructive than this natural calamity. An earthquake occurs
when the moving plates of the rocks under the surface clash with each other and
separates. Sometimes volcanos burst on the surface and release very hot lava and poisonous gas from its inside which causes pressure and disturbance within
the earth's surface and produces earthquake waves in the near surrounding areas.
Thus, volcanic activity within the earth's surface is one of the major reasons
for earthquakes like calamities. Faults created by the volcanic activity are
filled up by the strong earth surface movement which causes tremors.
