What's a fascinating fact about earthquakes?
Venezuelan here, since the double earthquake here I had been researching about what an earthquake really is in the whole context. So as I know you guys are well educated in this topic I would love to read what is for you the most fascinating fact about earthquakes.
For me is the fact an earthquake can originate 300/500kmts deep and still be felt in the surface. I would expect the gravity and mass of the earth to push it so hard that it's impossible to move in such a huge force.
And as an additional question, EVERY SINGLE mountain on earth is made by earthquakes pushing the ground below? Or for example volcanos can also create mountains as they did with Hawaii for example?
