Long Answer

Solution

The main cause of earthquakes is the movement of tectonic plates in the earth’s crust. These plates constantly move and interact at their boundaries, which can be converging, diverging, or sliding past each other. The stress built up from these movements is released as tremors, resulting in earthquakes. Volcanic eruptions and certain human activities can also cause earthquakes, but the primary cause is tectonic plate movement.
