Strong ground motion refers to the intense shaking of the ground caused by seismic waves generated during an earthquake. This phenomenon is crucial in the study of earthquakes and their effects on structures, infrastructure, and the environment. Strong ground motion can be characterized by high accelerations, velocities, and displacements of the ground over a short duration, typically lasting from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the earthquake's magnitude, depth, and distance from the epicenter.
