What are 2 reasons that causes earthquakes?

Answer 1

It's my understanding that there are techtonic plates within the earth's crust that will occasionally shift and cause geological disturbances. Volcanoes erupt when the shifts are deep enough to disturb the earth's core and superheated lava escapes through tunnels like "sink holes" to the surface. Likewise, a shift may result in other shifts making the terrain unstable resulting in an "earthquake" Frodo

Answer 2

The place where two plates move past each other is often an area of faults. the ground can shake drastically as plates slide past each other. This can cause a powerful earthquake. Earthquakes are also caused by volcanic activity

Answer 3

I only know one.. The reason why it does that is the tectonic plates slide past each other which causes vibrations thus... Making an earthquake which goes BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK

Answer 4

The main source of earthquakes are the sudden, intense shifts along already formed faults, because since most earthquakes occur around plate boundaries these faults start to create fault zones.

Answer 5

The primary cause of a earthquake is always continental drift.
