Shocking news is on the television. Many buildings collapsed and there are many people are harmed or even died because of that strong earthquake but did you ever think that in this year, there are spontaneous earthquakes happened. What do this earthquake means?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer, also known as a seismograph. The moment magnitude (or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude) of an earthquake is conventionally reported, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity."

Is it a sign that the end of the world is near? I am always hoping and praying to God that my thought is wrong. Let's pray for forgiveness of our sins to our God and we must avoid doing wrong. Let's change the world and resurrect it back to its beautiful and normal condition.
