Explanation:

1) Violent movement of the earth’s surface.

2) Earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth's rocks. ... The major fault lines of the world are located at the fringes of the huge tectonic plates that make up Earth's crust.

3) Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly; the rocks catch on each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

Earthquake

any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and “slip.” Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses move in relation to one another. The major fault lines of the world are located at the fringes of the huge tectonic plates that make up Earth’s crust.
