The incidence of earthquakes is increasing across the world. In the last year, cases of earthquakes have been seen at some place or other all over the world. Some earthquakes do not cause any damage, but in the last few months, some earthquakes have been seen which have caused huge destruction. Last year, earthquakes in Turkey, Syria, Morocco, Afghanistan, Nepal and China also caused devastation. The earthquake that occurred in Japan on January 1 this year also caused devastation. Although not all earthquakes cause devastation, the increase in earthquake cases is a serious matter.
