Earths Crust San Francisco

An earthquake is shaking or trembling of the earth
that is volcanic or tectonic in origin. A broadly

Earths outermost part also called the lithosphere
consists of several large and fairly stable slabs
of solid and relatively rigid rock called plates
(Bravely 154). These plates continuously move
pushing and rubbing against each other. Since the
earliest of time...
