The vibration caused by the rapid release of crustal energy is a natural phenomenon, and seismic waves will be generated in the process. On the earth, plates collide with each other, resulting in dislocation and rupture at the edge and inside of plates, which is the main reason for earthquakes.
Extended data:
Due to the complexity of the crustal structure and the non-intuition of the focal region, there is no satisfactory answer to how earthquakes, especially tectonic earthquakes, are bred and occurred, and what are their causes and mechanisms. But at present, it is recognized by scientists that tectonic earthquakes are caused by crustal plate movements.
Because the earth's rotation and revolution are endless, and its internal materials are constantly differentiated, the crust around the earth's surface, or lithosphere, is also constantly generated, evolved and moved, which has contributed to the global crustal tectonic movement. Scientists have experienced long-term observation, description and analysis of crustal structure and land-sea changes, and have successively formed different hypotheses, ideas and theories.
The theory of plate tectonics, also known as new global tectonics, was formed in the late 1960s and has been accepted by geoscientists.
