why do earthquakes happen
the reason that earthquakes happen is very simple. the earth is made up of tectonic plates. so when the tectonic plates break sometimes they can just slide but if they catch it is an earthquake. below the tectonic plates there is lava. the tectonic plates slides at first .then after a couple minutes it will catch. if you prey the tectonic plates will stay together you might get lucky. if you know why earthquakes happen when or if your in one you will know why that is happening. you could prevent injuries to others and you self.
