Know how earthquake comes
Explain that the main reason for earthquakes is the collision of the plates present inside the earth. There are a total of seven plates inside the earth, which keep on rotating continuously. When these plates collide with each other at some place, a fault line zone is formed there and the corners of the surface are folded. The pressure that builds up there due to the turning of the corner of the surface. Because of that the plates start breaking. Due to the breakdown of these plates, the energy inside finds a way to come out, due to which the earth shakes and we consider it as an earthquake.

earthquake intensity
Earthquakes with a magnitude of less than 2.0 on the Richter scale are kept in the micro category and these earthquakes are not felt. 8,000 earthquakes of micro category on the Richter scale are recorded every day in the world. Similarly, earthquakes of magnitude 2.0 to 2.9 are kept in the minor category. One thousand such earthquakes occur daily. Normally we do not even feel it. Apart from this, earthquakes of very light category are of 3.0 to 3.9 intensity, which are recorded 49 thousand times in a year.
