What is the main cause of an earthquake?
force of gravity
the shaking of the ground
stress caused by plate movement
waves that ripple from the epicenter
i’m on a timer pls answer

Option (3)

Explanation:

The earthquake is a natural phenomenon that takes place mainly because of the stress that generates due to the motion of the plates. Due to this plate motion, the rocks adjust themselves along the fault line, releasing a certain amount of energy. This released energy is carried from the focus towards the surface of the earth in the form of waves, commonly known as the seismic waves.

The focus is defined as the point (source) from where an earthquake originates and the point that lies directly above this focus on the ground surface is known as the epicenter.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

answer: grassland biomes are closer to the equator and receive more rain.

grasslands are biomes that are dominated by grasses rather shrubs and trees. savanna are biomes that exhibit grasses, shrubs and small tree as vegetation. grasslands are located near the equator of the earth. these are found in north america. savanna biomes are found in africa, south america, australia and india. grassland exhibit moderate climatic conditions, it receives   amount of rainfall higher than savanna.   therefore, savanna exhibit dry and hot climatic conditions.
