Why do earthquakes occur? Understand from scientific point of view
There are huge straps of rocks in the deep inside the earth called tectonic plates. There are a total of 12 tectonic plates on Earth. These plates are constantly dynamic-sometimes they collide with each other, sometimes they go away from each other. When these movements explod into the stored energy, an earthquake occurs. The intensity of the earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. Earthquakes with a intensity of 4.2 fall into a mild category, and such earthquakes usually do not cause extensive damage. However, if the intensity of the earthquake is high, it can cause landslides, collapse of buildings, damage to waterways and transport.
