Did you know that when the stress builds up from this sudden release of energy from the rocks breaking it causes this seismic waves, of energy called earthquakes?

 Did you know that Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, which are large pieces of the Earth's crust that fit together like a puzzle?

Did you know that these plates are constantly moving due to the heat generated from the Earth's core, which causes convection currents in the mantle that push the plates around?

Did you know that when two plates meet, they can either move apart (divergent boundary), slide past each other (transform boundary), or collide (convergent boundary). It is at these boundaries that earthquakes occur?

Did you know that The primary effect of an earthquake is the ground shaking, which can cause damage to buildings, infrastructure, and other structures. Severe shaking can lead to building collapse and widespread destruction?

Did you know that when plates collide or slide past each other, they can get stuck due to
friction?

Did you know that large earthquakes that occur under the ocean can trigger tsunamis, which are massive waves that can cause widespread flooding and damage to coastal areas?

Did you know that when the stress builds up from this sudden release of energy from the rocks breaking it causes this seismic waves, of energy called earthquakes?

Did you know that Earthquakes can be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, and human activities like mining and the construction of large dams?
