how are earthquakes made?
Earth is not just land and water and air and all that stuff but it is also like a fire ball.It may not seem like it but it is!Earth has layers the crust (where we live) the mantle and the core.The crust its cracked. under the cracks the mantle has currents in the soilidish magma witch causes the crust to push against each other creating a earthquake.Somtimes it creates a seismic earthquake that are very deadly.
