In major section 'Effects' subsection 'Human impact' bullet point 'Damage to critical infrastructure' sub bullet point is 'Water, power, swear and gas interruption'. 'swear' should be 'sewer'. 98.184.24.73 ( talk) 01:55, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
In today's Concise Crossword in the Sunday Times (which is published in the UK) the word 'seism' is given as the answer to the clue 'earthquake'. Hence I would like to be able to edit the first line of Wikipedia's page 'Earthquake' to read "... also called a quake, tremor, seism or temblor". However the page is semi-protected so I'm not allowed to do that edit. Could that edit please be done by someone who already has permission to do edits to Wikipedia's 'Earthquake' page? Or could I be given permission to do that edit, please? Anameisbutaname Talk 09:43, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
As the title says, the "occurence" section of the article is difficult for those who are not experts or enthusiasts to understand. These concepts should be explained more thoroughly, and technical language shouldn't be used more than strictly necessary in my opinion. I don't have anything to say one way or the other about the accuracy of the content, as I'm not an expert. 98.113.136.162 ( talk) 16:29, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
There’s no explanation of how earthquakes can occur away from the tectonic fault lines. Seems like this article should have at least a mention of intraplate earthquakes? 75.80.55.152 ( talk) 17:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
