Here is your work so far repaired:

Earthquakes are a terrible natural calamity. Wherever one occurs,the surface of the earth shakes, causing great destruction. On April 25th this year, a 7.9 earthquake occurred in Nepal. It was in the morning, when people were going to work, and suddenly the earth started shaking. Trees were uprooted, roads cracked badly, and buildings collapsed.

OK so i wrote this :

Earthquakes are dreadful and terrible natural calamity. When it occurs,the earth starts shaking, either violently or mildly. When it shakes violently , it causes great damage to life and properties of people but when it shakes mildly, then there is almost no damage.Earthquakes occur when the plates under the surface of the earth collide or slide under or above each other.
On April 25th this year, an earthquake of 7.9 magnitude occurred in Nepal. It was in the morning, when people were going to work, and suddenly the earth started shaking. Trees were uprooted, roads cracked badly, and buildings and temples collapsed.Some of them were razed to the ground. The earth is some places went down. In seconds, some of Nepal's towns and villages were totally destroyed.This was another terrible earthquake which occurred in Nepal after 80 years.This earthquake had also hit most of the parts of northern India. Although it was not so harmful for India, about 20 people were killed in the state called Bihar. However,in Nepal, more than 7000 people including the 40 Indians who went there as tourists were killed and more than 14000 people are still injured in Nepal, The figure is expected to go up further, with the bodies still buried under mounds of debris in several areas. Some mount climbers who were resting in their tents at the foothills of the Himalayas, were killed by an avalanche which occurred there suddenly due to earthquake. Some of them recorded the avalanche in their mobile phones and cameras. Many foreigners were killed by a landslide which occurred due to the earthquake.Though the help from India and many other countries were sent to Nepal,many of the people were still dying of starvation and anxious about their future.
Thus, this earthquake was very dreadful,disastrous and catastrophic for the people of Nepal.The fear of this earthquake is still there in the people's heart. The Meteorologists have found that the earthquake will again take place in few months in India which will be very harmful.

I have fixed the major grammar problems:

Earthquakes are a dreadful natural calamity. When one occurs, the earth starts shaking. When it shakes violently, it causes great damage to life and property, but when it shakes mildly, then there is almost no damage. Earthquakes occur when the plates under the surface of the earth collide or slide under or over each other.

On April 25th this year, an earthquake of 7.9 magnitude occurred in Nepal, following another terrible earthquake which occurred in Nepal 80 years ago. It was in the morning, when people were going to work, and suddenly the earth started shaking. Trees were uprooted, roads cracked badly, and buildings and temples collapsed. Some of them were razed to the ground. The earth is some places subsided. In seconds, some of Nepal's towns and villages were totally destroyed. This earthquake also hit most of northern India. Although it was not so harmful for India, about 20 people were killed in the state of Bihar. However, in Nepal, more than 7000 people, including 40 Indian tourists, were killed, and more than 14,000 people were injured. The figures are expected to rise, with bodies still buried under mounds of debris in several areas. Seventeen mountain climbers in the foothills of the Himalayas were killed in their tents by an avalanche caused by the earthquake. Some of them recorded the avalanche with their mobile phones and cameras. Many foreign trekkers were also killed by a landslide.Though aid from India and many other countries is being sent to Nepal, many of the people are still hungry and homeless and anxious about their future.

Thus, this earthquake was catastrophic for the people of Nepal.The fear of it is still in the people's hearts. Meteorologists have found that another earthquake will take place in a few months in India, which will also be very harmful.
