The tectonic plates present inside the earth are always moving slowly. But, sometimes due to friction, they get stuck on their edges or collide with each other or climb on each other, enter each other. Generally, due to these reasons, when the conditions of the plates suddenly change or they suddenly change in place, then earthquakes occur. Because of this, energy comes out from the earth’s womb, which comes up after passing through the earth’s crust (crust or outer part of the earth) and we feel vibrations on the surface. The earth’s crust is divided into 7 pieces and this is called tectonic plate.
