5 points on causes of earth quake
Answers
Earthquakes occur when the ground is subjected to so much force that it fractures or breaks. Scientists can explain how most earthquakes are caused using simplified theories of the Earth's structure.
Traditional stories and background science
Punishing a catfishEarthquakes: myths and legends
In ancient times earthquakes were thought to be caused by restless gods or giant creatures slumbering beneath the Earth.
Elastic rebound Elastic rebound theory
The process of ground being subjected to a growing force until it snaps or breaks is explained in a theory called the elastic rebound theory.
Divergent boundary Plate tectonics
Tectonic plates can move relative to each in different ways. This movement gives rise to different types of plate boundaries with different properties and characteristic earthquakes.
Driving tectonic plates What drives the movement of tectonic plates?
There are a number of competing theories that attempt to explain what drives the movement of tectonic plates.
Core structure The structure of the Earth
Studying the signals from distant earthquakes has allowed scientists to determine the internal structure of the earth.
Map of quakes Why and where?
Earthquakes do not occur randomly on the Earth. The pattern of earthquake locations can be explained by assuming the Earth's surface is made up from rigid plates that are in motion relative to each other.

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER...
⚫ Earth quakes cause due to the sudden tectonic movements in the Earth's crust
⚫ The largest fault surfaces on Earth are formed due to boundaries between moving plates.
⚫ The stress increases when they stick, relative motion between the plates.
⚫ They sliding over the locked portion of the fault, releasing the stored energy as shock waves.
⚫ The main cause is that when tectonic plates, one rides over the other, causing orogeny collide (mountain building), earthquakes.
