An earthquake is a series of seismic waves resulting from the sudden release of energy in a planet's crust. The term "earthquake" is commonly used in reference to such seismic events on any planet, not just Earth.

When the USS Enterprise-B was caught in the Nexus, retired Starfleet Captain Montgomery Scott mentally likened the shaking of the vessel to an earthquake. (Star Trek novel: Engines of Destiny)
