An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. For the first quarter of this year alone, we already have three major earthquakes recorded around the globe. The first one recorded was on January 12 in Haiti which lasted 35 seconds with a magnitude of 7.0. The second one was in Chile last February 27 with a powerful magnitude of 8.8 which caused a tsunami threat to nations around the pacific ocean. The most recent earthquake recorded is the one in Turkey last March 8 with a magnitude of 6.0.
