Why does an earthquake happen?
There are 7 plates inside the earth which are constantly rotating. The places where these plates collide more are called fault line zones. Due to repeated collisions, the corners of the plates are twisted. When the pressure builds up, the plates break. Due to their breakdown, the energy inside finds a way to come out. This disturbance is followed by an earthquake.
