♦️ Earthquakes
زمین لرزه

What do you know about earthquakes? An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the earth. Earthquakes can occur when huge blocks of rock deep in the earth crack or slip, or when lava or hot gases move around deep in the earth. Some earthquakes are very small. People hardly feel them and they do no damage. But some are so strong they split open the ground, cause buildings to fall, and kill people. The grid below shows some of the biggest earthquakes on record and the number of people who died as a result.
