Cause of earthquake:- 

An earthquake occurs because of the movements of tectonic plates beneath the surface of the earth. These movements create waves that propagate through the earth. These waves are known as seismic waves. It causes mild to heavy shaking and vibrations. The intensity of these vibrations can vary, but sometimes they can bring about great destruction. Earthquake in oceans is known as Tsunami, which is equally devastating.

Earthquakes can be human-made or natural, although the latter is more abundant. These earthquakes are not random; rather, they are the effect of different changes occurring in the earth’s crust for a long time.
