What’s your feelings about the earthquake? Let me show you some pictures. What is an earthquake? An earthquake is any shaking of the ground - usually intense shaking of the ground - caused by either natural sources or by humans. The most common types of earthquakes are those caused by ruptures of geologic faults or earthquakes associated with volcanic activity. 任何地动-通常是强烈的地动，无论是由自然力引起还是由人为引起，都叫地震。最常见的地震是那些由断层或者是火山活动引起的。 Can earthquakes be predicted?Whether earthquakes can be predicted is a very difficult question for we seismologists to answer. Certainly, there are things that we can predict about earthquakes. For example, we know where earthquakes are going to occur: primarily on large geologic faults. We know how big those earthquakes might be. For example, on the San Andreas Fault here in California, we know earthquakes can be as large as magnitude 8. The difficulty is that we cannot predict when large earthquakes will occur with any kind of reliability or precision needed to warn communities of impending disasters. To prevent the shaking caused by the earthquake kitchen cabinet doors open, the items inside out from the kitchen cabinet, closet doors installed on a leaf to be fixed.
