​EARTHQUAKE

The entire earth is covered with several massive plates of rocks.

These plates are called Tectonic Plates.

It is filled with extremely hot magma.

The heat produced inside the earth moves the tectonic plates.

The plates slowly glide and collide with each other, which causes earthquakes.
