Question

when earthquake occurs?​

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. ... The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up.
