Causes of Earthquakes
Earthquakesoccurfromthedeformationofouter,brittleportionsof
"tectonic plates", the earth's outermost layer of crust and upper mantle.
Due to the heating and cooling of the rock below these plates, the
resultingconvectioncausestheadjacentlyoverlyingplatestomove,and,
under great stresses, deform. The rates of plate movements range from
about 2 to 12 centimeters per year. Sometimes, tremendous energy can
build up within a single, or between neighboring plates. If the
accumulated stress exceeds the strength of the rocks making up these
brittle zones, the rocks can break suddenly, releasing the stored energy
as an earthquake. An earthquake begins when the plates push against
earth other and the pressure builds. Cracks start to appear in walls and
roads. The ground may shiver (tremor). Where the rocks snap seismic
waves (body waves) make the ground move. The first ones ( primary )
travelthroughrock,volcaniclava,waterandevenair.
Therearethreemainplatetectonicenvironments:extensional,
transform, and compressional. Plate boundaries in different
localities are subject to different inter-plate stresses,
