Abstract
An earthquake is caused by sudden motion of the earth's crust. Every year, tens of thousands of earthquakes of all sizes occur all over the world. Some cause tiny or major tremors, others occur in remote areas where no one lives. This chapter allow readers to find out more about the earth structure as well as earthquake nature.
