Elastic
Thermal energy
Earthquakes release the energy of frictional stress in forms of seismic waves.
Large earthquakes release a lot of energy, and it takes a long time for this energy to build up in faults, so they don't occur that often.
fires are not the leading cause of earthquakes. The earth is covered in massive plates that move around. When these plates rub against each other massive amounts of energy is built up. Earthquakes are the release of this energy.
Earthquakes earthquakes occur when energy stored in elastically strained rocks is suddenly released. This release of energy causes intense ground shaking in the area near the source of the earthquake and sends waves of elastic energy, called seismic waves, throughout the Earth. Earthquakes can be generated by bomb blasts, volcanic eruptions, and sudden slippage along faults. Earthquakes are definitely a geologic hazard for those living in earthquake prone areas, but the seismic waves generated by earthquakes are invaluable for studying the interior of the Earth.

Earthquakes can release an enormous amount of energy. The energy is emitted in the form of seismic waves!
Sliding plates release tension and energy to cause earthquakes.
Large earthquakes release a lot of energy, and it takes a long time for this energy to build up in faults, so they don't occur that often.
Both Earthquakes and tornadoes are destructive natural disasters that release large amounts of energy. Aside from that they are completely different.
fires are not the leading cause of earthquakes. The earth is covered in massive plates that move around. When these plates rub against each other massive amounts of energy is built up. Earthquakes are the release of this energy.
When a substance is subjected to heat the chemical bonds in it may break down and release energy. If oxygen is present then the release of heat energy will cause the oxygen to combust and produce a flame.
Earthquakes happen when under the ground rocks break at a fault. The rocks then break it release of energy which causes semi waves.
A shift in the earth's crust to relieve pressure, and therefore release energy, is an earthquake.
Earthquakes are movements or shaking of the ground that happened when blocks of rock move suddenly and release energy.
