what is the cause of earthquake
Seven plates are present inside the earth and the motion of all these plates continues. The place where these plates collide with each other is called a fault zone. When the plates collide with each other, an energy comes out. The movement that is created because of this is called an earthquake. The closer the epicenter of an earthquake is to the surface, the greater is the possibility of destruction. However, the area remains confined. These plates are about 30-50 km below the surface.
