Question

Once friction is overcome, the ground moves and an earthquake occurs, scientists call this ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tectonic plates of the earth

Answer 2

Tectonic plate

Explanation:

• The inflexible outermost layer of the earth's floor is referred to as the lithosphere and is divided into numerous massive plate-like systems which when overcome friction move around inflicting earthquakes.
• There are 7-8 large-scale plates and some minor tectonic plates.
• Other feasible results of the relative motion of these tectonic plates are an increase in the height of the mountains, sudden volcanic eruptions, newly formed trenches in the ocean.
• These tectonic plates may sometimes include the crust of either continents or the oceans.
