Causes of Earthquake → Earthquakes are caused by sudden tectonic movements in the Earth's crust. The main cause is that when tectonic plates, one rides over the other, causing orogeny collide (mountain building), earthquakes. The largest fault surfaces on Earth are formed due to boundaries between moving plates.
The main cause of earthquake is volcanic eruptions. Such type of
earthquakes occurs in areas, with frequent volcanic activities. When boiling
lava tries to break through the surface of the earth, with the increased
pressure of gases, certain movements are caused in earth's crust
