What is Earthquake �An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and movement of large sections (tectonic plates) of the earth's rocky outermost crust. The edges of the tectonic plates are marked by faults.
Signals Of Earthquake � animal behavior-Animals before earthquake come they behave in hurry. They behave like they want to go outside wherever they are. � Birds behavior- Birds before earthquake come make so much noise and fly here and there. � Moving of Earth-Earth moves when earthquake come and speed of moving depends how fast the earthquake is. � It is scientifically proved that before earthquake there is a high tune happens that a human beings can not hear.

How do Tectonic plates move? �Tectonic Plates : large sections of the earth's rocky outermost crust that have continents over them and have continental names like. European plates, Indian Plates etc.
SOME PLATES
2 types of movements of plates FOLDING FAULTING
� Faulting: It happens in weak areas of the earth’s rock. The movement occurs when the rocks can no longer bear the tension and forces that have build up in them. � Folding: Folding is a movement that occurs when a tectonic plates occupies other by passing over it or by slapping down.
Dangerous region of Indian subcontinent
