The surface of our planet is in a constant state of creation and destruction as the plates of the Earth collide. It is this movement of the Earth’s crust that causes earthquakes, sending tremors throughout the world.
This graphic is inspired by a classic USGS diagram that tracks the scale and frequency of earthquakes.
