What is the cause of an Earth Quacks?

Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. These plates can collide, pull apart, or slide past each other, leading to stress accumulation along faults. When this stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, it is released in the form of seismic waves, resulting in an earthquake. Other causes can include volcanic activity, landslides, and human activities such as mining or reservoir-induced seismicity.
