and sub-national regions covered by the database. There are over 260 pages on
countries and international organisations. Each page contains basic information
on the country, including its formal name, capital city, area, population,
currency, languages, and religions. The flags include the national and state
flags, ensigns, and sub-national flags. Where countries have changed their

An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by sudden movements in the earth's crust. Every year tens of thousands of earthquakes of all sizes occur all around the world. Some cause tiny tremors and some cause death and destruction. Others occur in remote regions where nobody lives. We only know about them because they are measured on seismometers.
