Discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement along the fractures as a result of earth movement.

Yes this may seem off topic, but it does include earthquakes! Earthquakes occur on the earths crust, which is the top layer of the earths surface.

This is when two plates smash into each other. It may seem like subduction, but sometmies the plats will move and begin to build against each other. Higher and higher the plates will rise amd it will form an moutain.

Heres a cool website to see more gif's and interesting things about earthquakes.

These to plates are moving away from eachother. As they separate, they open the ground, releasing magma/lava form the layer beneath the crust.

The central point of something, typically a difficult or unpleasant situation. (example, the center or point of a earthquake)

P-Wave: a longitudinal earthquake wave that travels through the interior of the earth and is usually the first conspicuous wave to be recorded by a seismograph.

S-Wave: A type of elastic wave, the S-wave, secondary wave, or shear wave is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves.

This simple machine can meaure how dangerous a earthquak can be.

This is how the plates rub/move against each other! As I have explained earlier, they move side by side each other, but in different directions, causing and earthquake to rise up

# data[].attributes.body
As the example below, or picture, you can see that the plates are going in different ways. That's how a transform earthquake happens. One plate slides to the front, the other going to the back. They are side by side, but going in different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm hoping this will give you a little information about how they are formed, and the different types.

# data[].attributes.body
There are 4 types of earthquakes!
(hopefully you wont be hurt by any)

Divergent: Plates that move away from each other

Convergent: Plates that collide together

Transform:: Plates that move side by side, but in different directions

Subduction: When one plate gets pushes under another.
