Stress becomes so great that the rocks of a fault suddenly grind past each other
The shifting of plate tectonics moving by eachother.
a Seismograph measure earthquake vibrations
Earthquake
Destructive, powerful, unpredictable.
the tectonic plates move around slightly until they clash causing strong vibrations or an earthquake
Its vibrations.
