उत्तर

Earthquake

Explanation:

A tremor below the surface of the earth which causes shaking of the crust is called an earthquake. It is a sudden movement or vibration of the Earth’s crust caused by the release of energy from within the Earth. This energy release leads to shaking felt on the surface. The waves produced during this event are called seismic or earthquake waves, but the actual tremor itself is the earthquake.
