Question

2. 5. Arrange the following statements in chronological order in which an earthquake occurs :
(1) The earth's surface vibrates.
(2) The plates suddenly move.
(3) Due to the movements in the mantle, compression goes on increasing.
(4) Along the weak points. (fault-lines) rocks break apart.
(5) Stored energy is released in the form of seismic waves.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3,4,5,2,1 is the sequence in which the events will occur in your question

Hope it helps

Answer 2

The correct order is:

1. "The plate suddenly move".  

2. "Stored energy is released in the form of seismic wave"s.

3. Due to the "movement in the mantel", "compression goes on increasing".

4. "The earth surface vibrate".

      An earthquake is the shaking of the earth surface due to "sudden release of stored energy" from the earth's lithosphere resulting in the creation of seismic waves. Intensity of earthquakes can range from weak to violent ones that are powerful. Frequency, size and type of earthquake occurred in any particular area over sometime is known as its "seismicity or seismic activity".

     When earthquakes occur offshore, they cause a displacement of seabed causing tsunami. They can cause landslides as well as volcanic eruptions.
