What human activities can cause earthquakes?

• when people dance so much causing plates to move

• when people build large dams

• when people throw garbage causing polluted lands

• when people illegally cut trees

How do earthquakes take place?

• Waves are sent out from the focus then waves flow out from the focus in all directions, like ripples of waves are sent out from the plates then tectonic plates flow out from the focus in all directions

• Waves are sent out from the plates then tectonic plates out from focus in all directions

• Waves are sent out from the plates then waves flow out from focus in just one direction 3
