MYTHOLOGICAL MYTHS ABOUT EARTHQUAKES !
HINDUISM :-
According to a Hindu myth, the earth is held by four elephants who in turn stand on the back of a turtle. This turtle is further balanced on the head of a cobra. During the entire balancing act, if any one of the animals, move, understandably the earth would shake, leading to earthquakes! This myth has different versions, with the number of elephants varying, and sometimes the order of animals varying, but the logic is the same, and i.e. dis-balance.
ISLAM :-
"Allah Most High hath created veins in the earth and hath given them into the hands of angles.Wherever the burden of sins increases and Allah Most High wants to scourge the people there,he orders the angles and the angel of that place pulls the vein [ie,the vein of that region] and the earth trembles and there occurs the earthquake [Verily,Allah knoweth best]".
[Fatawa-i-Rahimiyyah,volume 3,pp 187-88].
