ANSWER:

  • Earthquake is the force of change to earth which occurs due to the movement of tectonic plates deep beneath the earth’s crust.
  • These moving tectonic plates release a huge amount of sudden energy which in result shakes the earth's surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Tectonic plates are huge plates that are beneath the earth. These plates are move constantly.
  • When two moving plates collide with each other, the potential energy they store suddenly releases and gives off seismic waves.
  • These seismic waves travel to the Earth's surface resulting in the shaking of the ground.
