what is an earthquake also explain the distribution of earthquake
Answers
Answer:
An earthquake is shaking or trembling of the earth's surface, caused by the seismic waves or earthquake waves that are generated due to a sudden movement (sudden release of energy) in the earth's crust (shallow-focus earthquakes) or upper mantle (some shallow-focus and all intermediate and deep-focus earthquakes).
Explanation:
Almost all earthquakes occur in very narrow bands along oceanic ridges and transform faults, along continental transcurrent faults, or in broader zones below and behind island arcs. The depth distribution of earthquakes is also very limited. Almost all seismic energy is released in the crust2.

Hellooo✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️...
Earthquake:
An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
Distribution of earthquake:
Most earthquake zones are found at, or close to, tectonic plate boundaries, often in clusters. About 70% of all earthquakes are found in the 'Ring of Fire' in the Pacific Ocean. The most powerful earthquakes are associated with convergent or conservative boundaries.
