What is an earthquake?

• large mountain ranges where rock layers have been crumpled as they have been forced together

• The shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface.

What are fold mountains?

• The shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface

• vibrations that travel through Earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake

• large mountain ranges where rock layers have been crumpled as they have been forced together
