Answer 1

Answer:

d - tectonic plates causes earthquake

Answer 2

The movement of tectonic plates causes an earthquake.

Explanation:

The boundaries of these tectonic plates are responsible for triggering an earthquake. You see, these plates are constantly moving in a slow speed.

At times, due to friction, these plates lock themselves and massive waves are released in order to release the energy and the plates.

This causes the earth’s crust to shake at different variations.
