Biggest Earthquakes In The History

An earthquake occurs when two blocks of the earth's crust suddenly slip past each other. The surface where they slip is called the fault, and the location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter or the focus. The point on the earth's surface directly above the hypocenter is called the epicenter.
Earthquakes usually happen along tectonic plate boundaries, which are regions where two tectonic plates meet. Tectonic plates are large slabs of the earth's crust that move slowly on top of the molten rock of the earth's mantle. The plates can move apart, collide, or slide past each other, depending on the type of plate boundary.
When two plates are moving past each other, the friction between them can cause them to become stuck, creating tension. As the plates continue to move, the tension increases until the rocks along the fault break and move suddenly, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves. These waves travel through the earth and cause the ground to shake, which is what we feel as an earthquake.
The magnitude, or strength, of an earthquake is determined by the amount of energy released during the fault rupture, and is measured on the Richter scale. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale, meaning that each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the size of the earthquake. For example, a magnitude 5 earthquake is 10 times stronger than a magnitude 4 earthquake, and a magnitude 6 earthquake is 100 times stronger than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
