sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes can occur naturally or be induced by human activities, such as <a href="/wiki/Mining" title="Mining">mining</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fracking" title="Fracking">fracking</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_tests" class="mw-redirect" title="Nuclear tests">nuclear tests</a>. The initial point of rupture is called the <a href="/wiki/Hypocenter" title="Hypocenter">hypocenter</a> or focus, while the ground level directly above it is the <a href="/wiki/Epicenter" title="Epicenter">epicenter</a>. Earthquakes are primarily caused by geological <a href="/wiki/Fault_(geology)" title="Fault (geology)">faults</a>, but also by <a href="/wiki/Volcanic_activity" class="mw-redirect" title="Volcanic activity">volcanic activity</a>, landslides, and other seismic events. The frequency, type, and size of earthquakes in an area define its seismic activity, reflecting the average rate of seismic energy release. Significant historical earthquakes include the <a href="/wiki/1556_Shaanxi_earthquake" title="1556 Shaanxi earthquake">1556 Shaanxi earthquake</a> in China, with over 830,000 fatalities, and the <a href="/wiki/1960_Valdivia_earthquake" title="1960 Valdivia earthquake">1960 Valdivia earthquake</a> in Chile, the largest ever recorded at 9.5 magnitude. Earthquakes result in various effects, such as ground shaking and <a href="/wiki/Soil_liquefaction" title="Soil liquefaction">soil liquefaction</a>, leading to significant damage and loss of life. When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a <a href="/wiki/Tsunami" title="Tsunami">tsunami</a>. Earthquakes can trigger <a href="/wiki/Landslide" title="Landslide">landslides</a>. Earthquakes' occurrence is influenced by <a href="/wiki/Tectonic" class="mw-redirect" title="Tectonic">tectonic</a> movements along faults, including normal, reverse (thrust), and strike-slip faults, with energy release and rupture dynamics governed by the <a href="/wiki/Elastic-rebound_theory" title="Elastic-rebound theory">elastic-rebound theory</a>. Efforts to manage earthquake risks involve prediction, forecasting, and preparedness, including <a href="/wiki/Seismic_retrofit" title="Seismic retrofit">seismic retrofitting</a> and <a href="/wiki/Earthquake_engineering" title="Earthquake engineering">earthquake engineering</a> to design structures that withstand shaking. The cultural impact of earthquakes spans myths, religious beliefs, and modern media, reflecting their profound influence on human societies. Similar seismic phenomena, known as <a href="/wiki/Marsquake" title="Marsquake">marsquakes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Moonquakes" class="mw-redirect" title="Moonquakes">moonquakes</a>, have been observed on other celestial bodies, indicating the universality of such events beyond Earth. <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation" aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading"><input type="checkbox" role="button"

Normal and reverse faulting are examples of dip-slip, where the displacement along the fault is in the direction of <a href="/wiki/Strike_and_dip" title="Strike and dip">dip</a> and where movement on them involves a vertical component. Many earthquakes are caused by movement on faults that have components of both dip-slip and strike-slip; this is known as oblique slip. The topmost, brittle part of the Earth's crust, and the cool slabs of the tectonic plates that are descending into the hot mantle, are the only parts of our planet that can store elastic energy and release it in fault ruptures.

Thrust faults are generated by the highest, strike-slip by intermediate, and normal faults by the lowest stress levels.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> This can easily be understood by considering the direction of the greatest principal stress, the direction of the force that "pushes" the rock mass during the faulting. In the case of normal faults, the rock mass is pushed down in a vertical direction, thus the pushing force (greatest principal stress) equals the weight of the rock mass itself. In the case of thrusting, the rock mass "escapes" in the direction of the least principal stress, namely upward, lifting the rock mass, and thus, the overburden equals the least principal stress. Strike-slip faulting is intermediate between the other two types described above. This difference in stress regime in the three faulting environments can contribute to differences in stress drop during faulting, which contributes to differences in the radiated energy, regardless of fault dimensions. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Energy_released">Energy released</h3></div> For every unit increase in magnitude, there is a roughly thirty-fold increase in the energy released. For instance, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 releases approximately 32 times more energy than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake and a 7.0 magnitude earthquake releases 1,000 times more energy than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake. An 8.6-magnitude earthquake releases the same amount of energy as 10,000 atomic bombs of the size used in <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> This is so because the energy released in an earthquake, and thus its magnitude, is proportional to the area of the fault that ruptures<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> and the stress drop. Therefore, the longer the length and the wider the width of the faulted area, the larger the resulting magnitude. The most important parameter controlling the maximum earthquake magnitude on a fault, however, is not the maximum available length, but the available width because the latter varies by a factor of 20. Along converging plate margins, the dip angle of the rupture plane is very shallow, typically about 10 degrees.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> Thus, the width of the plane within the top brittle crust of the Earth can reach 50–100 km (31–62 mi) (such as in <a href="/wiki/2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami" title="2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami">Japan, 2011</a>, or in <a href="/wiki/1964_Alaska_earthquake" title="1964 Alaska earthquake">Alaska, 1964</a>), making the most powerful earthquakes possible. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Focus">Focus</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Depth_of_focus_(tectonics)" title="Depth of focus (tectonics)">Depth of focus (tectonics)</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:HotelSanSalvador.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/HotelSanSalvador.jpg/220px-HotelSanSalvador.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="271" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="403" data-file-height="496"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 271px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/HotelSanSalvador.jpg/220px-HotelSanSalvador.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="271" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/HotelSanSalvador.jpg/330px-HotelSanSalvador.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/HotelSanSalvador.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Collapsed Gran Hotel building in the <a href="/wiki/San_Salvador" title="San Salvador">San Salvador</a> metropolis, after the shallow <a href="/wiki/1986_San_Salvador_earthquake" title="1986 San Salvador earthquake">1986 San Salvador earthquake</a></figcaption></figure> The majority of tectonic earthquakes originate in the Ring of Fire at depths not exceeding tens of kilometers.

recently observed in the <a href="/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake" title="2010 Haiti earthquake">2010 Haiti earthquake</a>, it is also believed to be important not to pathologize the reactions to loss and
