Earth has seven tiles and when they wobble or move they make earthquakes, where there are joints of tiles they make earthquakes e.g. Japan. Japan is on the ends of two tiles and it also has volcanos so its easier to have volcanic eruptions so when they wobble or move they crack the lasnd and also make earthquakes happen

How do they fix cracks after an earthquake?

After an earthquake, cracks in buildings can be repaired by filling them with epoxy or polymer injections, sealing them with concrete or mortar, or installing carbon fiber strips for reinforcement. The specific method used depends on the severity and location of the cracks. It is important to address cracks promptly to prevent further structural damage.

What happens on land during an earthquake?

During an earthquake, the ground shakes due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. This shaking can cause buildings, roads, and other structures to be damaged or collapse. Landslides and ground fissures can also occur, increasing the risk of property damage and injury.


Can the earth open and swallow you during an earthquake?

It is unlikely, but it can happen. During particularly violent earthquakes cracks in the ground can open and close. These are not deep cracks, but it may still be possible to fall into some of the larger ones.


Why does an earthquake make land move?

All earthquakes are caused by excessive pressure, tension, and stress on the tectonic plates (unbelievably massive parts of the ocean floor, about 8 major ones), which move and cause massive friction between the plates going all sorts of directions, especially up and down.

What Happens To Land After A Earthquake?

After an earthquake, the land may experience effects like ground shaking, surface rupture, landslides, and liquefaction. These can cause changes in the landscape such as cracks in the ground, displacement of soil, and changes in elevation. In severe cases, the land may become unstable, making it unfit for buildings or infrastructure.
