Earth quake waves
- Sliding of tectonic plats that occur naturally in interior of the earth cause earthquakes.Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of built up stress along faults or cracks in the earth
- When the plates of the sea bed (tectonic plates)come into contact with each other.a sudden release of energy comes up as earth quakes
- The shocks waves from this sudden movement comes to the surface as an earth quake
The place where an earthquake is formed is called the epicenter
