FUN FACT:According to his intensity the earthquakes can cause displacements of the terrestrial bark, landslides of lands, tsunami and volcanic activity.

how does and earthquake occur?
The tectonic plates of which the terrestrial bark is formed(trained) are in continuous movement, but this one is in the habit of being slow and imperceptible. Nevertheless, when something prevents this displacement and they hit between(among) yes, there begins to be accumulated a great quantity of energy that finishes being liberated suddenly when there takes place(is produced) a sudden(sharp) movement of these plates. This energy shows in the terrestrial surface in what we know as earthquake

types of earthquake
Perimetrico :this earthquake is originated to the interior of the oceanic or continental plates after the liberation of a concentration of energy arisen from the depths

Volcanic : These are earthquakes originated to the interior of a volcano after the leak or concentration of energy arisen from the depths or shaped in the volcanic structure
Microearthquakes: These are earthquakes of some intensity developed in the zones with major depth of the Litósfera or, in the zone of the mantle with major height.
