Question

Mention the causes of earthquakes. Short answer type question​

Answer 1

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. ... When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Answer 2

⟹ Causes are as follows :-

• 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.
• second cause is volcanic earthquakes
• Movement of tectonic plates
• Heavy rain.
• High CO2 pressure.
• Groundwater extraction

⟹ Know More :-

⟹ Earthquake

The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.

⟹ Prevention

By preparing for natural earthquakes we can also reduce the risk from human induced earthquakes.
