Why do earthquakes occur?
Let us tell you that a total of 7 tectonic plates are present inside the earth. According to the information, all these 7 tectonic plates revolve around their respective places. However, these tectonic plates collide on the fault line while walking several times. The friction that arises due to their collision produces energy which finds a way to get out. This is the reason that earthquake tremors are felt on earth. (input language)
