A ‘silent’ earthquake is like a sneaky shake, you don’t feel it, but it still changes the ground. It happens when rocks slide slowly under the Earth’s surface without making big vibrations, just like how your chair moves quietly when you shift on it.
Examples
- A silent earthquake is like when you slowly move your chair without making any noise.
- Your neighbor's house might shift a little during the night, you don’t feel it, but something changed.
- The ground beneath a forest might inch forward by inches over months.
