Waves

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

They can cause huge waves in the ocean called tsunamis.

In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether natural or caused by humans—that generates seismic waves.

You can hear the waves at night.

It just needs a window and the sound of waves.

Waves never stop moving, and neither does the shore.

Every day, waves push and pull sand, rocks, and water along the coastline.

At the same time, waves also deposit sand in new areas.

Strong storms bring much bigger waves that can reshape a beach in just one night.

Seasonal changes also affect the shore, as winter waves tend to be stronger and remove more sand.
