Cause of earthquake
There are seven tectonic plates in the earth's crust. These plates keep rotating continuously. When these plates collide with each other, it means that one gets superimposed on the other. Or move away from it. Then the ground starts shaking. This is called an earthquake. The Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes. Which is called the Richter Magnitude Scale.
The Richter magnitude scale is from one to nine. The intensity of an earthquake is measured from its epicentre, i.e. the centre of the earthquake. That is, the energy emanating from that centre is measured on this scale. One means low intensity energy is being emanated. Nine means the highest. A very destructive wave. As it moves away, it becomes weaker. If the intensity on the Richter scale is 7, then strong tremors occur within a radius of 40 kilometres.
