Skyquake

Sometimes, people hear very loud noises that seem to come from the sky. These sounds are called skyquakes. They can sound like loud bangs or horns, and they sometimes make walls shake.

Skyquakes have been heard in many places around the world. Some of these places are the North Sea, Canada, Japan, Australia, and the United States. People in different countries have different names for these sounds.

Scientists are still trying to learn what causes skyquakes. Some think small meteors entering the atmosphere might make the noise. Others think it could be gas explosions under lakes or weather like distant thunder. These loud sounds continue to puzzle many people who hear them.
