Earthquakes, Heartquakes

*Read at your own risk*

They are horrible upon rising to the surface. It's a result of a sudden release of energy creating waves. Off the surface, even though immediate effects are not felt, tsunami might be created to destroy any other stuffs. At the same time, one must understand that these are natural events occurring almost everyday only at a different scale as well as strained areas. And obviously the higher scale quakes would shake the grounds of which we stand in.

So how do we define them? Human have came up with the term called faults (they think alot don't they). There are three basically types of faults- Strike-slip, Normal and Thrust/Reverse. Ideally both tectonic plates would slide pass each other smoothly.
In the case of Strike-slip, it is caused by both plates being different (DUH!) and lock on each other whilst moving. Think of it as two fitted jigsaw puzzle on a table and trying to slide away from each other. The strains are at those edges and once sufficient energy are stored, both plates would "damage" each other and a sudden slip would be felt on the surface.
Both Normal and Thrust/Reverse are just opposite of each other in terms of plate movements. It's where either one plate just extends too much, or in the other extreme is where one plate is being shortened. However the effects felt on the surface might be completely different in those two cases.

Lastly. Earthquakes don't just happen as a standstill event and just pass over. There are three "other effects"- Aftershock, Quake swarms and Quake storms.
Aftershock... It just simply means that another (or more than one) minor quake(s) occurred after the first main quake. And would be affecting the same region as the main shock did, but of smaller magnitude.
Quake swarms are somewhat similar to Aftershock in the sense that it is a rampage of quakes striking a specific area but all of similar magnitude. Every single one is occurring one after the other.
In relation to the previous two effects, Quake storms have an element of time. In which quakes occur at the specific area occasionally for long periods of time. This area would be deemed as "active", and obviously would suffer the most.

One thing to remind. Quakes are a natural event occurring supernaturally... Don't fight them, embrace them because they can't be avoided. Only dealt and endured with the best possible way.
