How do earthquake form and work?

Answer 1

I bet you are wondering how does earthquakes form well I've got the answer you want to hear it forms by the inner earth plates hitting each other in sort of speak I'm in 6 grade and that's my answer to you.

Answer 2

Earthquakes are shakes and jiggles in the huge pieces of the Earth that form the outside of the big ball of our planet. We and the dirt and trees and other living things live on top of these big pieces of our Earth. These pieces are called plates. They "float" around on the Earth's hot crust very very slowly, so slowly you can't see them move. But as they creep along, they bump into each other sometimes. They can even get in a "traffic jam" and push real hard against each other. When they bump and push together, the pressure builds up until something has to give and move from all the force. All at once when pieces find a way to get unjammed, the pressure that has made them squish together really tight lets go and a sudden jerk can happen as one plate gets on top of another or as they slide past each other. This jerking causes the scrunches and wrinkles of the plates that were jamming into each other to suddenly let go and "Boing!" Shakes and jiggles go rushing out of the tight spot as the plates move over or under or around each other. These jerks move in waves all across the huge plates to relieve the tension. These released forces are very powerful and they are what make the ground move, wiggle and vibrate so that we can feel it from very far away.

Answer 3

a earth quke forms when 2 plates shake undrneath us so thats why buildings fall down and a earth quake is dangerous because when ther is 1 it could carke a who0le street and ther would be lava flying around us

Answer 4

Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, typically along fault lines where tectonic plates meet. This release of energy in the form of seismic waves propagates through the Earth, causing the ground to shake. The magnitude of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale, which quantifies the energy released by the earthquake.

Answer 5

Earthquakes are not "formed." They are caused. Sometimes one is the result of a part of the Earth settling. These are usually minor. The big ones are the result of plate techtonics.
