Question

what type of earthquake is caused by shifting of earth's crust?

Answer 1

here's ur answer dude

Tectonic plates are constantly shifting as they drift around on the viscous, or slowly flowing, mantle layer below. 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.

hope it helps
