The sudden occurrence of these quakes prevents taking adequate precautionary arrangements by the individuals or the concerned authorities. Despite the worldwide technological progress, predicting earthquakes or early warning about them are still of limited results. This would increase risks and lead to insecurity. This shows the importance of studying earthquakes within this paper. Earthquakes are a natural terrestrial phenomenon that can be defined as a sudden crack in the Earth's rocks at depths ranging from its surface to a depth of 720 km. This crack results in a kinetic energy that was stored in the rocks, which radiates out in various directions in the form of seismic waves, causing the particles of the medium in which they spread to vibrate, as they appear on the surface of the earth in the form of vibrating quakes. Earthquakes vary from one place to another on the face of the earth, where some of them are included in the active areas, whereas others are less active or more quiet. It is known that earthquakes were not random, but rather as a result of certain conditions and ground movements that were the main generator of such earthquakes.
