< Pinyin
An earthquake is a violent movement of the Earth's crust.
dihzhehn shih dihqiaoh de juhlieh yuhndohng.
The time of each earthquake is very short, but may repeat over a long period of time.
meei cih dihzhehn de shirjian heen duaan, dahn charng shirjian huih yoou yurzhehn.
It is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. This creates earthquake waves, waves of energy that travel through the Earth.
