Question

Which of the following events can cause an earthquake?

• A. Tsunami
• B. A big meteorite hitting the Earth.
• C. Volcanic eruption
• D. Thunderstorm

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B A big meteorite hitting the Earth.
C Volcanic eruption

Tremors can be caused in the layers of Earth whenever a volcano erupts or when a big meteorite hits the Earth's surface resulting in an earthquake. However, a thunderstorm is not related to an earthquake. A tsunami is a huge sea wave that drowns the nearby towns and cities caused due to the movement of tectonic plates in Earth's crust, i.e a tsunami is caused due to an earthquake.
