Why do earthquakes happen
Let us tell you that there are many plates inside the earth, which are constantly rotating. When these plates collide repeatedly, their corners fold. When too much pressure builds up, the plates begin to break. Downward energy finds a way out. Earthquake occurs after disturbance. When these plates collide more, that zone is called fault line.
That’s why plates collide
Actually, these plates move very slowly inside the earth. In this way, every year they move four to five mm from their place. Some plate moves closer to another plate and some moves away. In such a situation, sometimes these plates collide with each other.
