The movement of the earth’s plates causes (a) cyclones (b) lightning (c) earthquakes (d) thunderstorms
Answer: (c) earthquakes
Earthquakes occur when the earth’s plates brush against one another or undergo collision. Buildings, dams, and other structures can be severely damaged by an earthquake.
An earthquake is defined as the shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, which causes seismic waves, also known as S waves. The type and intensity of an earthquake are determined by the seismic activity in the area.
