Reason Of Earthquake –

Earth is mainly made up of four layers. Inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. The crust and upper mantle core are called lithosphere. This 50 km thick layer is divided into several sections, which are called tectonic plates. These tectonic plates keep vibrating in their place. When this plate becomes very vibrating, an earthquake is felt.
