"Shake, Rattle and Roll"
"Shake, Rattle and Roll" is a phrase that describes the experience of experiencing an earthquake. It refers to the physical sensations associated with seismic activity: "shake" signifies the ground trembling, "rattle" indicates the sound of objects moving and hitting together, and "roll" describes the side-to-side or up-and-down movements. These terms collectively capture the intense, often frightening motion felt during an earthquake, caused by the Earth's crust shifting. The phrase has also been popularized by a famous Filipino song and film series, but its primary meaning relates to seismic disturbances.
