Earthquakes are tremors or vibrations in the Earth's crust that are caused by the build up or accumulation of pressure (more correctly termed stress).
This accumulation of stress causes the rocks that make up the crust to deform elastically. This is very similar to what happens when you squash or stretch a spring and causes a form of energy to be stored in the rocks of the crust - technically described as elastic potential energy.
When this stress gets to large, it exceeds the strength of the rocks in the crust and causes a brittle failure. Brittle failures are failures where fractures form through the material.
This sudden brittle failure causes all of the elastic potential energy to be released at one time in the form of seismic waves, just as if a spring or elastic band that was being stretched suddenly snapped.
It would be Tectonic theory, although I don't think that it is a theory any more, meaning that it is not disputed, so it is just Tectonics.
The elastic rebound theory and the theory of plate tectonics.
the elastic-rebound theory
plate tectonics
Reid Elastic Rebound theory
theory of plate tectonics
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Plate tectonics explain earthquakes and volcanoes so does the theory of continental drift.
The theory of continental drift.
place theory
Due to the disturbances in tectonic plates
The theory of plate tectonics
the theory explains how Earth's plates form and move. it also explains how plates interact ,producing volcanoes,mountain range ,earthquakes,and featurs of the ocean floor

The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Plate tectonics explain earthquakes and volcanoes so does the theory of continental drift.
DNA is stored on chromosomes, and chromosomes are passed through generations.
Romania hasn't a special theory on earthquakes.
Mountains do not prevent earthquakes, in fact mountains were created by the occurrence of earthquakes.
Yes, earthquakes are naturally occurring.
i dont no the answer..!
Although England is not a hot spot for earthquakes, there could possibly be the occurrence of one there.
