An earthquake is the shaking of the ground caused by natural sources like ruptures of faults and/or volcanic activity. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by ruptures of faults in the Earth's crust. The Ring of Fire is the place where more than 90% of the world's earthquakes occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earthquake: Shaking of the ground caused by natural sources like ruptures of faults and/or volcanic activity.

Tectonic Earthquake: Caused by ruptures of faults in the Earth's crust.

Ring of Fire: Place where more than 90% of the world's earthquakes occur.

Man-made Earthquakes: Caused by explosions, extraction of oil, and nuclear testing.

Focus: Place where earthquakes start.
