Why Earthquake Occurs:
Our earth is mainly made up of 4 layers. The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. Be aware that this crust and the upper mantle core are also known as the lithosphere. This 50-kilometer-thick layer is divided into several sections. In other words, it is also called tectonic plates. These ‘tectonic plates’ keep on moving in their place. But when this plate starts moving more than necessary, then we call it an earthquake. These plates can move from their place both horizontally and vertically. After this, she finds her place while being stable, during this time one plate comes under the other plate. Due to which earthquake is formed and waves come.
