Show transcript
Earthquakes are sudden, violent movements of the ground caused by tectonic plate movement.
Earthquakes usually happen on or near plate boundaries.
At a plate boundary two plates are locked together, yet moving in different directions.
When rock fractures at a plate boundary this causes an earthquake.
Small earthquakes can also occur far from plate boundaries.
