Why do earthquakes occur?
There is always turmoil under the surface of the earth or say inside the earth. The plates present inside the earth are constantly colliding with each other or sliding away. Due to this, earthquakes keep occurring every year. Before understanding earthquakes, we should understand the structure of the plates present under the earth. An expert told that there are 12 tectonic plates in the earth. The energy that is released when these plates collide with each other is called earthquake. Earthquakes of high intensity cause devastation, however earthquakes of low intensity do not have much effect.
