Why do earthquakes occur?
Our earth is made up of many layers. These layers (plates) are attached to each other at a depth of several feet and keep rubbing continuously. Usually the intensity of this friction is so low that we do not feel it, but when due to some natural imbalance its intensity becomes more than the average, then earthquakes occur. The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale. If the intensity is above 5, then there is a risk of more damage from the earthquake. If its intensity is less than 4, then it is considered normal.
