The Answer is Earthquake.

Earthquake is the word that identifies the shaking that results from movement under Earth's surface.

An earthquake is the shaking and displacing of the earth surface due to the sudden release of energy from inside the crust that produces seismic waves. Earthquakes occur mostly due to movement around geologic faults or volcanic activity. Earthquakes vary in size from the weak ones to the violent ones. A seismometer is used to measure the power of an earthquake while the magnitude (strength) is measured using the Richter scale.
