Question

what are the causes of earthquake​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

Induced Earthquakes. Induced quakes are caused by human activity, like tunnel construction, filling reservoirs and implementing geothermal or fracking projects.

Volcanic Earthquakes. Volcanic quakes are associated with active volcanism. ...

Collapse Earthquakes.

Answer 2

$\huge\text{REQUIRED ANSWER-}$

• Earth’s surface is divided into several layers the crust, mantle, inner core and outer core.

• The outermost layer of the Earth is divided into several plates. These plates are always moving.

• As they move past each other or collide, disturbances are caused in the earth's crust. These disturbances are called earthquakes or tremors.

Other causes of an earthquake can be:

• Volcanic eruptions

• When a meteor hits the Earth surface

• The nuclear explosion under the Earth surface

Although the causes of an earthquake are clear the scientists cannot predict when the earthquake would occur.
