Why does an earthquake come?
According to earthquake scientists, our earth surface is mainly made of seven large and several small tectonic plates. These plates continue to move continuously and often collide among themselves. As a result of this collision, the corners of the plates can be twisted and they can also break due to excessive pressure. In such a situation, the energy released from the bottom finds a way to spread outwards and when the energy comes out from inside the ground, an earthquake occurs.
