Answer 2

Earthquake:

Explanation:

• A quake is an unexpected shaking (or shuddering) of the earth which goes on for an exceptionally brief time frame. A tremor is brought about by the vicious developments of rocks somewhere inside the world's hull.
• The structural plates are generally leisurely moving, yet they stall out at their edges because of grating. At the point when the weight on the edge conquers the grating, there is a quake that discharges energy in waves that movement through the world's outside layer and cause the shaking that we feel.
• A tremor has solitary greatness. The shaking that it causes has many qualities that differ from one put to another in view of distance, sort of surface material, and different elements.

Hence, 8 b is the correct option.
