Java earthquake

In Java, an 'earthquake' typically refers to a sudden, unintended change or overload in a system, often caused by a bug, unexpected input, or a resource spike. It can cause applications to crash, freeze, or behave unpredictably. Think of it as a disturbance that disrupts normal operations, much like an actual earthquake shakes the ground. Developers monitor for such issues using logging and debugging tools, aiming to identify and fix the root cause before it affects users. Proper exception handling and resource management help prevent or mitigate these unexpected disruptions in Java applications.
