The correct option is A True

Earthquake:

  1. The shaking of the Earth's surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust is known as an earthquake.
  2. Earthquakes are triggered by tectonic movements in the earth's crust that occur suddenly.
  3. There is a continuous movement of tectonic plates.
  4. Orogeny occurs when the tectonic plates slide over one another, resulting in earthquakes.
  5. Vibrations spread in all directions as a result of these disturbances.
  6. These tectonic movements can be triggered at any time and can cause earthquakes.

Hence, earthquakes can occur at any time all over the world. So, the statement is true.
