Question

Movement in tectonic plates results in the occurrence of Earthquakes. Give reasons​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\bigstar\underbrace{\mathtt\red{A} \mathtt\purple{N} \mathtt\green{S}\mathtt\blue{W} \mathtt\blue{E} \mathtt\orange{R}}\bigstar$

Explanation:

As there is a relative motion of these plates, there is stress built up, which breaks by releasing the stored energy known as shock waves. This causes a release of energy, and the energy waves travel in all directions.

Hence it results in occurance of earthquake.....
