我想問下咩係earthquake

An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph. The moment magnitude (or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude) of an earthquake is conventionally reported, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

全球板塊構造運動地震（又稱地動、地振動）是地殼快速釋放能量過程中造成的振動，期間會產生地震波。

地震可由地震儀所測量，地震的震級是用作表示由震源釋放出來的能量，通常以「芮氏地震規模」來表示；烈度則透過「修訂麥加利地震烈度表」來表示，某地點的地震烈度是指地震引致該地點地殼運動的猛烈程度，是由震動對個人、傢具、房屋、地質結構等所產生的影響來斷定。
