How do earthquakes happen?
The main reason for the occurrence of earthquakes is the collision of plates inside the earth. Seven plates inside the earth keep on rotating continuously. When these plates collide at some point, a fault line zone is formed there and the corners of the surface are folded. Due to the cornering of the surface, pressure builds up there and the plates start breaking. Due to the breakdown of these plates, the energy inside finds a way to come out, due to which the earth shakes and we consider it an earthquake.
