Introduction
An earthquake is a natural disaster that is caused by energy in the earth’s crust that creates seismic waves.

Cause of earthquakes
Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of energy in the earth’s crust. The different types are convergent, divergent and transform. Convergent

Summery
• An earthquake is a natural disaster
• Cause of earthquakes is sudden release of energy from earths crust
• How earthquakes are measured by Richter and Mercalli scale
• Japan earthquake was large earthquake measured at 9.0
