Earthquakes

Tectonic earthquakes

Tectonic are the most popular earthquake. This is where the tectonic plates slip in different directions. There are three actions. The first is Strike slip. This is where one plate moves forward and the other backwards. Next is Normal. The normal plates just rub together then the plate on the right slides downwards but the other plate stays where it is. The right plate is the one that doesn't move in some cases. The final one is Thrust. This is where the left stays where it is but the right plate moves upwards. Like the one above the left is the one that moves some times and not the right.
