After all, why does an earthquake occur?

There is always upheaval under the Earth’s surface or to say that inside the earth. The plates inside the earth are constantly colliding or moving away. Due to this, earthquakes keep coming every year. Before understanding the earthquake, we should understand the structure of the plates below the earth. A expert said that there are 12 tactoneic plates in the earth. The energy that comes out when these plates collide, are called earthquakes. Earthquake with high intensity causes havoc, although there is no significant effect from low intensity earthquake.
