Question

What causes an earthquake? Suggest three measures to protect ourselves from earthquake.​

Answer 1

Answer:

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. 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.

These are the safety precautions we should follow when an earthquake come :-

(1) DROP down onto your hands and knees before the earthquake knocks you down.

(2) COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) underneath a sturdy table or desk.

HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops.

Hope it helps you mate..
