Why do earthquakes occur?
Let us tell you that there are a total of 7 tectonic plates present inside the earth. According to the information, all these 7 tectonic plates keep rotating continuously at their respective places. However, many times while rotating, these tectonic plates collide on the fault line. The friction caused by their collision produces energy which finds a way out. This is the reason why earthquake tremors are felt on the earth.
