Earthquake  n  earthquake  (also known as a  quake,  tremor  or  temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the  earth's  lithosphere  that creates  seismic waves. earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they cannot be felt to those violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities. the  seismicity  or  seismic activity  of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. the word  tremor  is also used for  non-earthquake seismic rumbling.
