Respuesta :

Given the pressure built in rocks due to the plate movement, when it exceeds the elastic strength of rock, rock bends, and energy waves known as seismic waves, which are divided to p waves and s waves, and the point where energy released is known as the focus. The ground shakes, and earthquake is formed.

Hope it helps!

Earthquake is a typical natural disaster that causes damage to structures on the Earth crust.

The cause of Earthquake are energies of seismic waves that are sent across the lithosphere from colliding plates in the Earth Mantle.

The 3 type of seismic waves are explained below

  • P-waves: It is the fastest of all seismic waves and can travels through solids, liquids and gases.

 

  • S-waves: These waves shakes the Mantle back and forth to the direction it is moving and only move through solids

  • Surface waves: These waves is the slowest of all seismic waves.
