Two kinds of waves are generated by earthquakes and travel through solid rock: Show In P or compressional waves, the vibration of the rock is in the direction of propagation. P waves travel fastest and are the first to arrive from the earthquake. In S or shear waves, rock oscillates perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In rock, S waves generally travel about 60% the speed of P waves, and the S wave always arrives after the P wave. For example, sound waves are P waves at a high enough frequency to hear with your ear. An example of an S wave is wiggling or shaking a rope which is tied down at one or both ends. Both P and S waves travel outward from an earthquake focus inside the earth. The waves are often seen as separate arrivals recorded on seismographs at large distances from the earthquake. The direct P wave arrives first because its path is through the higher speed, dense rocks deeper in the earth. The PP (one bounce) and PPP (two bounces) waves travel more slowly than the direct P because they pass through shallower, lower velocity rocks. The different S waves arrive after the P waves. The slowest (and latest to arrive on seismograms) are surface waves, such as the L wave. L waves are named for the Cambridge mathematician A.E.H. Love who first described them. The surface waves are generally the largest recorded from an earthquake. Body waves in the earth's interior lose their amplitude rapidly as they get farther from the earthquake because they spread out inside the volume of the earth. Surface waves, however, spread out more slowly and only on the earth's surface. The energy from surface waves is confined to a smaller volume at the surface and the wave amplitude to carry that energy is therefore larger than body waves.

Earthquake (TM26) is a Ground-type Move in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (BDSP). Learn Earthquake's location, what Pokemon can learn it, as well as its Power, Accuracy, PP, and Effect.
The basement floor of Wayward Cave containing Earthquake (TM26) is only accessible if the player has access to Strength by getting the 6th Badge and unlocking the Hidden Move in the Lost Tower. After getting Strength, use Cut to go under Cycling Road on Route 206, and go to the top left of the area under the road, west of the main Wayward Cave entrance. Then, walk 2 tiles to the right and go up. From there, use Strength and go left down the stairs to enter B1F.
After entering B1F, you'll need to traverse a maze of ramps on your bike. Earthquake (TM26) is located up the stairs in the bottom right corner, at the end of the maze. This TM can be purchased at the Exchange Service Corner in the Battle Park for 80 Battle Points. How to Get BP (Battle Points)

Why is earthquake so strong Pokémon?Earthquake is all hundreds homie, 100 power, and 100% accuracy. It's also a physical based move, and it has a ton of PP. Lastly, a HUGE amount of Pokémon can learn it. All of these factors combined make Earthquake the most used Pokémon move to date.
What is the power of magnitude 10?Magnitude's power varies based on a randomly selected "magnitude" value ranging from 4 to 10, with 4 having the least power and 10 having the greatest.
