What Causes Most Earthquakes?

0

When the crust of the earth is subjected to tectonic forces,it bends slightly. But, because the crust is rigid,so when the stress or pressure exceeds the strength of the rocks, the crust breaks and snaps into a new position. Vibrations called seismic waves are generated and travel both through the earth and along its surface. These seismic waves cause the movement we call earthquakes.
