Know why earthquake occurs?

The earth is mainly made up of four layers. The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The crust and the upper mantle core are called the lithosphere. This 50-kilometer thick layer is divided into several sections called tectonic plates. These tectonic plates keep vibrating in their place and when there is too much vibration in this plate, an earthquake is felt.
