Understanding Earthquakes (Gempa Bumi)
📌 An earthquake is a natural phenomenon caused by the sudden release of energy within the Earth's crust, resulting in vibrations or seismic waves.
⚡ This energy release is marked by the breaking of rock layers on the Earth's crust, spreading energy in all directions as seismic waves.
🌍 Earthquakes are generally categorized into three types: collapse (reruntuhan), tectonic (tektonik), and volcanic (vulkanik) earthquakes.

Causes of Earthquakes
💥 Earthquakes can be caused by faulting (patahan); however, an earthquake of magnitude 12 would require a fault larger than the Earth itself, deeming it impossible.
🚀 Man-made causes include artificial tremors such as rocket launches.
🏗️ Other human-induced causes are linked to human activities like construction and development (pembangunan).

Post-Earthquake Health Response
🚑 Earthquake disasters can negatively affect public health, causing injuries, especially bone fractures, and water source contamination.
🩹 For first aid, clean wound areas and apply pressure to stop bleeding.
🛡️ Apply antiseptic medicine to prevent infection and cover open wounds; severe injuries require immediate transport to the nearest healthcare facility for further treatment, including anti-tetanus injections.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Earthquakes result from the sudden release of seismic energy due to the breaking of crustal rock layers.
➡️ First aid priorities include wound cleaning, hemorrhage control, and infection prevention using antiseptics and tetanus shots.
➡️ Causes range from natural tectonic shifts to man-made activities like construction and rocket launches.
