What causes earthquakes?
Earth’s crust consists of parts, called tectonic plates, which are interconnected.
These plates often try to move, but the friction between them prevents them. However, when pressure was accumulated, one plate can suddenly slip, causing surface movement.
Earthquakes are measured by a scale called Magnitude Scale (MW), which replaced better Richter scale, now considered obsolete and less precise.
The number assigned to the earthquake is a combination of distances that the seismological rental moved and the forces moved it.
The shock of the strength of 2.5 or less cannot be felt, but may register instruments. Earthquakes to strength 5.0 can be felt and cause minor damage.
