More Definitions of Earthquake

Earthquake means land movement due to seismic activity from an earthquake, including shocks and tremors. "Earthquake" does not mean:
Earthquake means a vibration-generating rupture event caused by displacement within the earth’s crust through release of strain associated with tectonic processes and includes effects such as ground shaking, liquefaction, and damaging amplification of ground motion. While land sliding, including seismically- induced land sliding, is not itself an earthquake, we cover, subject toLOSSES EXCLUDEDItem 5 and subject to all other terms and conditions of this policy, loss to covered property arising out of a seismically- induced landslide if that landslide is induced by, and would not have occurred in the absence of, an earthquake that commences during the policy period as part of a seismic event that commences during the policy period. Earthquake does not mean or include tsunami or volcanic eruption.
Earthquake means all earthquake shocks and aftershocks occurring within any consecutive one hundred and sixty-eight (168) hours during the policy period.
Earthquake means any earthquake, volcanic eruption, subterranean fire, landslide, subsidence, earth sinking and earth rising or shifting or any such convulsion of nature. If more than one earthquake shock shall occur within any period of 72 hours during the term of this insurance, such earthquake shock shall be deemed a single “earthquake.”
Earthquake insurance, if the Leased Property is currently, or at any time in the future, located within a major earthquake disaster area (it being agreed that California, the New Madrid Seismic Zone, and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Zone are deemed major earthquake disaster areas for purposes of this Lease), in amount, and in such form and substance and with such limits and deductibles as are satisfactory to Lessor, provided that the limits for earthquake shall be in an amount not less than the projected probable maximum loss for the Leased Property, business personal property and Personal Property as calculated using RMS or another generally industry accepted modeling system using a 250 year return period, nor shall the deductible be greater than five percent (5%) of the replacement cost and business interruption value of the Leased Property and business personal property unless such deductible is commercially unavailable, in which event Lessee shall maintain the lowest deductible that is available;
Earthquake means seismic geologic activity which causes movement in the earth’s surface including loss or damage from any other cause that contributes concurrently or in any sequence to a loss, except direct loss to covered property caused by an ensuing fire or explosion. All earthquake shocks that occur within any concurrent 168-hour period are considered a single earthquake.
Earthquake means snowslide, landslide or other earth movements occurring concurrently with and directly resulting from an earthquake shock.
