An earthquake<\/a> is zero other than a sudden free of energy<\/a> in the earth\u2019s outside<\/a> that is in charge for creating seismic waves. The magnitude of an earthquake on the Richter scale defines the sum of injur<\/a>e and defeat of possessions<\/a> to the Earthquake has a potential<\/a> to cause. Some of the highly damaging earthquakes have had a magnitude of 9.0 or more on the Richter scale. The uppermost damage<\/a> is caused at the epicentre which be the point at ground level directly above the point of initial break of the earthquake. An earthquake can also trigger other natural disasters such<\/a> as landslides, volcanos,<\/a> tsunamis, etc. A tsunami may occur if the epicentre of an earthquake is located offshore. Various disaster management organisations<\/a> and bodies have been formed to deal with earthquakes<\/a> and the connected damage caused. Also, common people should be made attentive of ways to deal with such accepted calamities that can strike anywhere and anytime especially in earthquake prone areas. Some of the highly devastating<\/a> earthquakes that comprise occurred<\/a> till date are still reminisced<\/a> and dreaded the world over. at this<\/a> point is a list of top 10 worst earthquakes that have ever smack our planet.<\/p>\n
