Earthquakes….. 
EARTHQUAKES ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT MAKES 
BUILDINGS FALL AND GET DAMAGED. IT COULD MAKE YOU 
LOSE YOUR LIFE!
Earth quakes happen across the 
world each year. The good news 
is almost all of them are to small 
to feel.
What causes earth quakes?.. 
To understand why earthquakes happen it 
helps to know what going on inside our planet 
not just what happening on the surface. Also 
earth quakes are caused by the plates like say 
the plate slips down and there's a shake in the 
middle of earth that’s how earth quakes 
happen.
Our planet is divided into a three 
main layers: a solid core a liquid 
magma mantle and a crust, which 
floats on top. That top crust is made 
up of individual plates , which are 
kept inconstant motion by 
convection currents in the magma.
Plates that collide push rock layers upward 
which creates mountains. When plates 
move away from each other or diverge 
lava comes up from the mantle and cools.
In some places the plates become 
locked together. Energy build up in 
the locked plates, which is released 
in the form of an earthquake when 
the plates finally give way.
