There are seven plates inside the Earth, which are continuously rotating. The area where these plates collide is called a fault line. The corners of the plates bend due to repeated collisions. When the pressure increases, the plates start breaking and the energy going downwards finds a way out. After the movement that occurs during this period, an earthquake occurs.
