earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
It causes and earthquake
The place along a fault where the slipping that causes an earthquake begins is called the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the point within the Earth where the energy is released, initiating the seismic activity that generates an earthquake.
The kind of motion that causes an earthquake is called faulting, which occurs when there is sudden movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. This movement releases stored energy in the form of seismic waves, leading to an earthquake.
The degree to which people feel an earthquake is called its intensity, while the amount of damage it causes is known as its magnitude. Intensity is based on human observations and perception, whereas magnitude is measured by seismographs and represents the energy released by the earthquake.
The scale that describes the amount of damage an earthquake causes is called the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. It measures the intensity of shaking at a specific location and assesses the impact on structures and people, rather than the earthquake's magnitude. The scale ranges from I (not felt) to XII (total destruction).
its causes and its 2 plates colliding together
earthquake No, not earthquake, but changes in atmospheric pressure.
an earthquake has a weather goelogic
When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.

It causes and earthquake
It results by creating a shockwave, which causes the ground to shake; this is an earthquake.
tension
plate movement
The movement of the earth's crust and the plate boundaries, cause seismic activity, which causes the earth to rumble, causing the feel of an 'earthquake'.
A submarine earthquake causes a tsunami.
Movement of the Tectonic plates below the surface of the earth causes earthquakes. Negative effects of earthquakes are- 1 It causes a great damage to life and property. 2 It sometimes causes Tsunami also.
