Why does an earthquake happen?
Earth is mainly made up of four layers. The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The term “lithosphere” refers to the crust and upper mantle core. This 50 km thick layer is divided into several segments, which are called tectonic plates. These tectonic plates continue to vibrate where they are. When this plate vibrates a lot, an earthquake is felt.
