earth movement or earthquake exclusion

An exclusion found in most property insurance policies (even all risk policies) eliminating coverage for loss resulting from earth movement, except ensuing fire. The exclusion may apply only to earthquake or to all forms of earth movement; the same is true of the endorsements used to add back coverage.
