How it forms
There are four layers of earth the solid inner core, the liquid outer core,
the mantle, the crust. A sudden rapture in the fault can cause an earthquake. A
fault is a gap or we can say fracture in the earth's crust and it can be of
any depth or length which varies from place to place.Scientists believe that mostly earthquake occurs due to the movement of
plates.Think of it as when somthing is locked.Then when it unlocks it opens.Thats how the sesmic waves create earthquakes.
