Question

Mention any two cause of earthquake.

Answer 1

Answer:

Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy within some limited region of the rocks of the Earth. The energy can be released by elastic strain, gravity, chemical reactions, or even the motion of massive bodies. Of all these the release of elastic strain is the most important cause, because this form of energy is the only kind that can be stored in sufficient quantity in the Earth to produce major disturbances.

Earthquakes associated with this type of energy release are called tectonic earthquakes.
