- Earthquake: It is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, it causes great destruction over the ground surface.
- It is mainly due to the movement of tectonic plates of earth crust or volcanic action.
Explanation:
- Earthquakes are able to initiate landslides over mountainous regions or wet regions.
- If the earthquakes are under the sea bed, this sudden shake can create extreme pressure outwards and might take a shape of a Tsunami.
- Sometimes the earthquakes can break the dams and overflows of water can create the situation of floods.
