Line 1: − + − "Earthquakes" are reportedly a significant natural [[hazard]] to populations living in areas prone to "earthquakes" and responses to the hazard vary with economic development{{fact}}.+ − + − − ==The truth about "earthquakes"== − − The earth is fixed, and cannot be shaken (Psalms 104:5, "Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken"), and numerous theories have surfaced to explain why so-called "earthquakes" still are reported from all over the world. − − Possible theories include: − − * Some "earthquakes" has been a way for communist countries to cover-up for damage caused by war<ref>http://voyage.typepad.com/china/heilongjiang/</ref>. − − * A phenomenon resembling an "earthquake" can be caused by nuclear weapons testing<ref>http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=/ForeignBureaus/archive/200501/FOR20050107b.html</ref>. Although this would not make the earth actually "shake", the powerful [[infra sound]] caused by nuclear weapons<ref>http://www.borderlands.com/archives/arch/gavreaus.htm</ref> might make the earth appear to shake. − − * Unexplained "earthquakes" are suspected to be caused by mass hallucinations or other sources of infra sound waves. − − There is no evidence that earthquakes actually occur, and the "scientific study" of earthquakes, called "[[seismology]]", is under strong dispute<ref>http://www.univie.ac.at/Wissenschaftstheorie/heat/heat-3/heat383f.htm</ref>.

An '''earthquake''' is the alleged shaking caused when so-called "[[plate tectonics|tectonic activity]]" in an area causes the release of stored [[energy]] from the rock. Earthquakes are said to be commonly occurring on tectonic plate boundaries{{fact}}, earthquakes also occur along [[fault]]s where previous movement has occurred{{fact}}.

Earthquakes are a significant natural [[hazard]] to populations living in areas prone to earthquakes and responses to the hazard vary with economic development.
The most powerful earthquakes occur at destructive tectonic plate boundaries{{fact}}.
