Earthquake

Earthquakes are tremors and vibrations of the Earth's surface, a high mantle that occurs as a result of sudden shifts and breaks in the Earth's crust, and are transmitted in the form of elastic vibrations over long distances. The point in the Earth's crust where seismic waves break is called the hypocenter the place above the hypocenter of an earthquake on the Earth's surface the shortest distance is called the epicenter. The earthquake intensity is estimated on a 12-point seismic scale (MSK-86), and the magnitude is used for the energy classification of earthquakes.
