An earthquake is a sudden dreadful disaster.
It is a sudden violent shaking of the earth's surface. Usually earthquake takes
place for a very short time. But within that short time it can destroy a whole
town or a city. Science has not yet been able to predict and take protective
measures before its occurrence. All earthquakes are not equally harmful. Most
of the earthquakes are so gentle that they pass unnoticed. But some of them
take their toll in a large number of lives and properties. It pulls down highrises,
uproots the trees, collapses the bridges. It causes big cracks on the grounds.
Some of the earthquakes are caused by the volcanic explosion.

During such
earthquakes molten lava rushes out and floods the entire region. Japan, Peru,
Italy, etc. are known as earthquake-prone zones. In India horror of Gujarat
earthquake in 2001 is still green in our mind. Let us hope that a time will
come soon when science will be able to forecast, stop or control the occurrence
of an earthquake.
