Many people believe that an "earthquake tremor" (هزة أرضية) is the exact same thing as a "major earthquake" (زلزال), but is there actually a difference between them?
Earthquake Tremor (الهزة الأرضية): It is the vibration of the Earth caused by the movement of tectonic plates in a manner that is not very strong, also known as "oscillatory movement." It measures less than 4.9 on the Richter scale. This type of tremor is often felt by some people when it occurs, but it does not cause any notable damage.
Major Earthquake (الزلزال): A natural phenomenon resulting from the movement of tectonic plates inside the Earth due to geological factors.
The Arabic word root implies intensity and powerful shaking—to the point that the earth shakes violently. This type measures 5.0 magnitude or higher on the Richter scale.
This type of earthquake causes varying degrees of damage to buildings, other structures, and populated areas depending on its magnitude.
