Know why earthquakes come?

Earthquakes occur on the surface of the Earth when the energy comes out by moving or colliding the tectonic plates present in the upper layer (crust) of the Earth. This energy spreads in the form of waves, causing the ground to move. The Earth’s crust is divided into many huge tectonic plates, which continue to move slowly. Earthquake occurs when these plates collide with each other, or are separated. This is called ‘plate tectonics’.
