Earthquakes are caused by slippage within geological faults. The underground point of origin of the earthquake is called the "seismic focus".

It is usually the secondary events that they trigger such as building collapse, fires, tsunamis (seismic sea waves) and volcanoes. Many of these could possibly be avoided by better construction, safety systems, early warning and planning. When natural erosion, human
