An earthquake is a vibration of the Earth produced by a rapid release of energy. This vibration usually begins when
there is a build-up of stress in the Earth's crust resulting in
A)
tectonic plates buckling up.
Eliminate
B)
rift zones under the oceans.
C)
plate movement at fault lines.
D)
convection currents within Earth's magma.
Earthquakes are vibrations that develop when there is a build-up of stress in the Earth's crust resulting in plate movement at fault lines. Most often, earthquakes occur at subduction zones.
