Why and how do earthquakes occur?
According to experts, the earth’s crust is made up of three large plates. The first layer is called Eurasian, the second is Indian and the third is Arabian. When heat accumulates underground, these plates move. The earth shakes and this condition is called an earthquake. Earthquake waves invade all sides in a circular shape.
Experts say that areas where a major earthquake has occurred once can be prone to another major earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy from the Earth’s crust.
This energy often appears on the surface of the earth in the form of volcanic lava. Most earthquakes occur in fault zones, where tectonic plates collide or rub against each other.
The effects of the friction or collision of plates are usually not felt on the surface of the earth, but as a result, severe tension is created between these plates.
When this tension is released rapidly, severe shaking occurs, which is called seismic waves.
