If an earthquake strikes when you are inside the house Stay under a table, stay away from heavy wall hangings and laminates ,while on bed protect the head with a pillow.
Earthquake occurs due to the sliding of tectonic plates across one another. It is better to follow the precautions in case we observe the signs of the earthquake. Some of them are that we should get under a table or a desk and stay there till the staking stops. We should pick a safe place where tall and heavy things may not be tall on us. If we are in bed, then we should not get up and protect our head with a pillow. Thus, all of these are correct.
