Where does a earthquake form?

Answer 1

an earthquake forms deep in side the earths crust, where plates, that hold continents, are. they move, sideways, forward, backward and slide over other plates. if two plates meet sliding or bumping each other, it cause waves over the earth, which we call earth quakes.These waves, animals can sense. there are three diffrent waves that come from an earthquake.P waves S waves and surface waves. the waves come over the earth, and some are silent at first,which the animals hear. the big ones, shake the earths crust, causing the crust to shake which we are on and buildings. and since the earth below us is moving, the building shake and fall, causing damage.
