earthquake

Question 1

An is the sudden shaking or
trembling of the Earth’s surface caused by
the release of energy stored in the Earth’s
crust.

Answer 1

earthquake

Question 2

causes of earthquakes

Answer 2

tectonic plates movement
volcano activity
fault slippage

Question 3

The Earth’s outer shell (lithosphere) is made up of
large slabs called tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid layer of the
mantle below. These plates constantly move, but the edges where they interact
are often locked by friction. When the stress along these edges (or faults)
becomes too great, the plates suddenly shift, causing an earthquake.

Answer 3

Tectonic Plate Movements

Question 4

plate boundaries

Answer 4

convergent
divergent
transform

Question 5

: Plates push against each other.

Answer 5

Convergent Boundaries

Question 6

Plates move apart.

Answer 6

Divergent Boundaries:

Question 7

: Plates slide past one another.

Answer 7

Transform Boundaries

Question 8

: In areas near volcanoes, earthquakes can be
triggered by the movement of magma (molten rock) beneath the
Earth’s surface. As magma rises, it fractures surrounding rocks,
creating seismic activity.

Answer 8

Volcanic Activity

Question 9

Earthquakes also occur when there is a sudden slip
along a fault line

Answer 9

Fault Slippage:

Question 10

main layers of earth

Answer 10

crust
mantle
outer core
inner core
