Cause of earthquake?
The earth is situated on tectonic plates. There is liquid lava beneath it. These plates keep floating and often collide with each other. Due to repeated collisions, the corners of the plateaus often bend and due to excessive pressure these plateaus break. In such a situation, the energy coming out from below finds a way to come out and after this disturbance an earthquake occurs.
