Why earthquake comes
The earthquake comes when there is a stir in the plates inside the earth. The upper surface of our Earth is divided into several tectonic plates, which continue to move slowly. When these plates collide together, slips under each other, or get trapped in some place, a lot of pressure is formed. When this pressure becomes too much, the plates suddenly slip and feel tremors of earthquake.
