Section 1: What are earthquakes?
Key Concepts:
- Earthquakes are ground motions that result from the release of energy when blocks of rock move.
- Most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries because the movement of tectonic plates causes stress in Earth's crust.
- Earthquake energy travel through rock as seismic waves.
