General Information About EarthquakesEarthquakes are caused the moving of the tectonic plates in the earth. Those plates move because of the convection that’s going on under the surface. Rocks get hot, float up, become cool, and then fall back closer to the core and it repeats. This causes those plates to move which in turn causes earthquakes, volcano eruptions, avalanches, landslides and so on. These things can all harm humans and destroy our land. Another thing they do is create land and hills in the process so that is one good thing that comes from an earthquake.
