Our land is made of plates known as Te tonic plates .An earthquake occurs when two tectonic plates move.

An earthquake is measured using a Richter Scale. The amount of earthquake produced is expressed in magnitudes. An earthquake with a magnitude of 1 is just a minor earthquake which will cause no destruction but if the magnitude recordings are 7 or more is going to be a massive earthquake
