Why do earthquake occurs?
Environment – Earthquake
Earthquake:-
An earthquake is a natural disaster. When the surface of the Earth starts shaking with a heavy vibration by the sudden release of energy caused by volcanic and magmatic incidents, or the slip or the stress changes in the Earth.
Earthquake causes significant damage and loss of lives. It can be dangerous and destructive. There are several example of earthquakes that causes many harmful effects, like- 2011 Japan’s Great Sendai Earthquake, the 2015 Nepal earthquake, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. An earthquake can cause another disaster, like a tsunami.
Earthquake causes:-
The plates on the Earth sometimes start conflicting with each other, run against each other, and shake and rub each other, which causes an earthquake.
During the volcanic come over many internal movements and vibrations are used to shake the Earth’s surface.
On the Earth’s surface, many dislocated parts of the Earth move up and down. Due to these incidents, the Earth’s surface started shaking, which caused earthquakes.
When the two plates in the Earth meet, it causes an earthquake.
In the Earth’s crust when the rocks can not withstand the stress. They started breaking down and shift energy was realised, which caused several movements in the Earth’s surface, that called an earthquake.
Earthquakes can also be caused by sudden volcanic eruptions.
Sudden changes in Earth’s surface cause sudden vibration, which causes earthquakes.
Faults and fractures in the Earth’s surface is caused by earthquakes.
Earthquakes can cause massive destruction to living kind.
The convergent boundaries have peculiarities like the Himalaya that sometimes neither of the colliding plates sinks, which causes earthquakes.
