**Earthquake**: An earthquake is a natural phenomenon characterized by the sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates.

Earthquakes can vary in magnitude, intensity, and duration, and they can lead to significant damage to buildings, infrastructure, and can result in loss of life.
