Why do earthquakes happen?
It is said that the earth is mainly made up of four layers. The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust core. In such a situation, the crust and the upper mantle core are known as the lithosphere and this 50-kilometer thick layer is divided into several sections. Wherein it is called tectonic plates and these tectonic plates keep on moving at their place. It is said that when this plate starts moving a lot, it is called an earthquake. These plates can move from their place both horizontally and vertically.
