explain the occurrence of earthquakes .best answer required.In about 100 to 200 words .
Answers
Answer:
As we have seen, earthquakes are caused by the reshaping of Earth through the movement of Earth's tectonic plates. Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, along cracks in the lithosphere called faults, or along the mid-oceanic ridges but the majority of the seismic energy released in the world is from earthquakes occurring along the plate boundaries, particularly around the Pacific Rim or the so-called Ring of Fire where there is a particularly intense tectonic activity that causes Tsunamis on a regular basis.
Answer:
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.
