Answer:

The movement of the earths plates is also called:

  • Plates tectonics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plate tectonics is used to explain the origin of earthquakes from the movement of terrestrial plates, which is usually slow enough to be detected with the naked eye, but sometimes releases enough energy to cause earthquakes, another possible event is that two plates touch each other on one of their edges, which can be represented in a seismic wave that derives in an earthquake.
