One day the earth trembles and ...

and there will be great earthquakes,and in different places famines and pestilences; and there will be terror and great signs from heaven. (Lucas: 21:11)

We know earthquakes are tremors of a part of the earth's crust, caused by natural causes. Those tremors are located in the *** epicenter *** and an internal place on the ground *** the hypocenter ***. It can also be specified that regions of the planet are the most attacked by such convulsions. And it has been concluded that where earthquakes abound, it is precisely in the areas near the mountain ranges.

THAT IS WHY IT HAS BEEN DEDICATED THAT THERE IS A NARROW RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE EARTHQUAKES AND THE VOLCANOES: BUT, OTHER THAN THE MOVEMENTS THAT HAVE THE SAME ORIGIN THAT THE VOLCANIC ACTIVITY, ** IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE TO ARRIVE TO AN EXACT EXPLANATION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE EARTHQUAKES * *

Some theories about the origin of earthquakes:

🌏 The most accepted theory is that most earthquakes are due to the stress state of the earth's crust. Suddenly, fractures occur in the earth's crust that lead to the sliding of one rocky surface over another.

🌏 However, there is also the hypothesis of the "DERIVATIVE OF THE CONTINENTS". According to this hypothesis, the continents move slowly. #Africa, for example, moves away from #America at the rate of three centimeters per year. The earthquakes originate when there is a friction between plates of both continents and plates of the marine crust.

🌏 WHAT IS TRUE IS WHAT IS THEIR CAUSE, EARTHQUAKES ARE THE MOST DEVASTATING TYPE OF NATURAL CATASTROPHE THAT CAN BE GIVEN.

In the regions of the earth where there have always been #Chile, #Japon, #Sicilia, #Centroamerica earthquakes, it is known that they will continue to exist and that at the least moment the earth can shake again.

Have a wonderful day.
