Presentation transcript:

What is an earthquake? A earthquake is a destructive disaster which is caused by tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are moving plates that covers the Earth’s mantle to not bring heat to the surface. The tectonic plates can also make different types of mountains like fault mountains and fold mountains.
