Answer:

Collision

Step-by-step explanation:

Plate tectonic movements cause the majority of the earthquakes. The movements occur because the plates float on the hotter and denser rock of the mantle. Consequently, these plates are usually in constant movement – past or from each other within the earth’s crust.
