Looks like an earthquake?

In May, I960, on the coast of South America, there were several very large earthquakes. After one day, the waves raised by this earthquake sunk to the shores of Japan. Reached their height of ten meters. Huge ice shafts flooded all the coast and have done a lot of trouble. The ships are on the coast, were thrown onto land. Many homes were destroyed and blown into the ocean. Hundreds of people died. During a strong earthquake on the earth's surface are often formed of the crack, reset. These cracks are deep in the ground. In the event of such faults bridges, roads and other structures can be destroyed. In 1906, California, during a strong earthquake formed a huge crack. The length of the rupture was 450 km and width reached 5 ... 6 meters. In 1957, Mongolia, the Gobi desert during an earthquake, a crack length of 250 kilometers. Sometimes, when a severe earthquake, the formation of new mountains. Valley sink into the sea and covers the water. The river change its course and form waterfalls. Rock falls obstruct the path of rivers and lakes form these places. Within a few minutes, the surface may change beyond recognition.
