Why do earthquake happen in philippine's?

Answer 1

The same as the reason that it happens anywhere... Movement of the earth's crusts along the plate margins otherwise known as plate tectonics causes up heaving & instability in land/ocean masses. Plate Tectonics is the movement of the earths crust. The earths plates are constantly moving and often they get into a traffic jam. As plates move in different directions, pressure builds up over time. When the pressure overcomes the tendency of the plates to press together, there is a sudden shift resulting in an earthquake. This sudden release of energy creates seismic waves.

== == During an earthquake poorly designed structures can collapse and cause a lot of damage. the ground shakes and cracks in the earth begin to form.
