Why do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are mainly caused by the activities of the Earth’s tectonic plates. The upper layer of the Earth is divided into many plates which continue to move slowly. When these plates collide with each other or move under each other, there is pressure there, which comes out in the form of a seismic shock. Additionally, stress stored on the ground cracks can also cause earthquakes. In some cases volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes, which are called ‘volcanic earthquakes’.
