The Earth's crust is where earthquakes typically occur. When tectonic plates, which make up the crust, slide against each other, it can build up stress that is eventually released as an earthquake. The crust's composition and structure play a significant role in how seismic waves travel during an earthquake.
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
Yes, an earthquake is caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. The build-up of stress along plate boundaries leads to sudden release of energy in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.
An earthquake is called so because it describes the shaking of the ground caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. The term "earthquake" combines "earth," referring to the ground, and "quake," which means to shake or tremble.
There is a sudden movement in the earths crust in an earthquake. However, lava does not appear
The sudden movement could result in an earthquake.

When any continents bash in together, there is most likely to be an earthquake. When Earths crust bash against each other, there is an earthquake which sometimes causes sunamis. If that happens to Earth's crust, why not to continents?
A crack in the Earth's crust that can lead to an earthquake is called a fault.
The earthquake and tsunami were caused by a shift in the earths crust.
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.

Well it would cause an earthquake and sometimes a volcano to erupt
Aftershocks.
