veryfied answer. ★ ->> This non-stop movement causes stress on Earth's crust. When the stresses get too large, it leads to cracks called faults. When tectonic plates move, it also causes movements at the faults

Shifts in the lithosphere, a region at the edge of the Earth's crust, are what give rise to earthquakes.
- The lithosphere does not surround the entire Earth in a single piece like an eggshell.
- Four fundamental layers make up the earth's surface: a solid crust, a solid mantle, a liquid outer core, and a solid inner core.
- The geosphere is the mantle's outermost layer and a solid crust. It is not an ongoing layer. Rather, it is made up of tectonic plates spread out over the layer.
- The Earth's crust is put under stress because the tectonic plates are constantly moving.
- Whenever there is constant tension, fault lines arise.
- The abrupt movements along the fault lines are what generate earthquakes.
- This is due to the fact that these locations are situated along fault lines.
- The earthquake is caused by the tectonic plates rubbing against one another.
- As a result, some areas are more earthquake-prone than others.
- China, Indonesia, Iran, and Turkey are among the nations that are most vulnerable to earthquakes.
