Know why earthquakes occur
Earthquakes occur due to the collision of the plates present inside the earth. There are seven plates inside the earth, which keep on rotating continuously. When these plates collide with each other at some place, a fault line zone is formed there and the corners of the surface fold. Due to the turning of the corner of the surface, pressure builds up there and the plates start breaking. Due to the breaking of these plates, the energy inside finds a way to come out, due to which the earth shakes.
