Earthquakes

Earthquakes are one of the most powerful forces on earth, massive plates moving around and pressing into each other. Earthquakes are caused when these plates rub against one another, creating a friction which vibrates everything around it. Earthquakes can cause phenominal damage, or somtimes, harm absolutely nothing. Even though the continental plates move very so slow, it's unoticeable, the power behind them is huge.
