How to use earthquake in a sentence?

  1. Lord Byron:

    Poetry is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.

  2. Karl Lang:

    It’s a seismogenic area. It’s a very large fault zone, but this is a larger earthquake than they’ve experienced any time in recent memory, the magnitude of shaking that is felt on the surface is both a function of the amount of energy released, the size of the earthquake, but also how far that energy is released below the surface. So if it is very close to the surface, if it is a shallow earthquake, then it can be very dangerous.

  3. Reginald Fils-Aime:

    We still have people coming to clinics with mental health problems related to the earthquake. They talk about the earthquake, about being under the rubble.

  4. Jeff Melvoin:

    You think Nature is some Disney movie Nature is a killer. Nature is a bitch. It's feeding time out there 24 hours a day, every step that you take is a gamble with death. If it isn't getting hit with lightning today, it's an earthquake tomorrow or some deer tick carrying Lime disease. Either way, you're ending up on the wrong end of the food chain.

  5. Jeannette Rankin:

    You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
