= Quake (natural phenomenon)
{wiki=Quake_(natural_phenomenon)}
A quake, commonly referred to as an earthquake, is a natural phenomenon caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, resulting in seismic waves. This release of energy can occur due to various factors, such as tectonic movement, volcanic activity, or human activities like mining or underground explosions. Earthquakes are typically classified by their magnitude, which measures the energy released, and their intensity, which measures the effects of the quake at specific locations.
