On the basis of the nature of shaking earthquakes are classified into vertical and horizontal. In vertical earthquake, the vibration is up and down and in horizontal earthquake, the vibration is lateral. Horizontal earthquake is more devastating then vertical earthquake because collapsing of buildings occurs more in it.
