Liam's Explanation

How and Why Earthquakes Happen?

An earthquakes is a shake in the ground.

 The earth is made out of tectonic plates. Under the earth's crust there is a mantle, the mantle circulates  making the plates move.

The plates rub together and they gain up energy and then they release.

It send shockwaves and this is what causes an earthquake.  The ground shakes and people feel a jolt.

Earthquakes  happen every day. Some cause lots of damage and others you can't even feel.
