📄 Abstract
One of the most destructive natural catastrophes, earthquakes force the earth's surface to tremble violently. In addition to causing harm to neighboring buildings, it also has an impact on the environment and our way of life. While most natural catastrophes are known ahead of time, earthquakes are an exception in this instance. Because of how quickly this disaster occurred, preparations could not be taken. Compared to other natural catastrophes, this one also causes greater damage. What causes earthquakes? Experts claim that the whole surface is separated into many layers. Once again, every layer is separated into many plates. When these massive tectonic plates meet, the earth's bottom trembles. Rocks climb over one another during earthquakes. And the earth is shaken by the energy that results. In essence, vibration is caused by this energy. A seismometer is a device that measures vibration waves, and earthquakes are measured via a network of similar devices. On paper, a seismograph displays a zigzag chart that illustrates the vibrations of the earth underneath the device. Additionally, we experience earthquakes on Earth's surface. It is necessary to create earthquake-resistant structures before constructing earthquake-resistant buildings. Numerous environmental changes brought on by earthquakes may be divided into primary impacts (such as erosion and surface flaws) and secondary effects (such as displaced rocks, tsunamis, ground fractures, liquids, and landslides). Earthquake environmental effects [EEE] are the term used to describe these impacts.
