Question

Large scale and sudden release of energy in the interior of the Earth gives rise to _____________ Earth movements.

Answer 1

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.

Answer 2

Answer:

Large scale and sudden release of energy in the interior of the Earth gives rise to seismic waves and Earth movements.

Explanation:

• When tectonic plates move, it leads to movements at the faults.

• An earthquake is the sudden movement of Earth's crust at a fault line.
• Epicentre is the location where the earthquake begins.
• The most intense shaking of the Earth is felt near the epicentre.
• An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates vibrations called seismic waves .
• Seismic waves are the ones that radiate the surface of the Earth which causes the Earth to shake.
• Earthquakes may last a few seconds or even minutes.

Thus, Large scale and sudden release of energy in the interior of the Earth gives rise to seismic waves and Earth movements.
