Why does an earthquake come?
Earthquake is a sudden vibration on the surface of the earth, caused by the movement of tectonic plates located inside the earth. The upper layer of the Earth is divided into several large pieces, called tectonic plates. These plates continue to move slowly.
When these plates collide, slip, or go under each other, then there is a lot of stress on their sides. A time comes when this stress is not tolerated and it suddenly comes out as a shock. This shock shakes the earth and earthquakes are felt.
