The correct chronological order in which an earthquake occurs.
1. The plate suddenly move.
2. Stored energy is released in the form of seismic waves.
3. Due to the movement in the mantel, compression goes on increasing.
4. The earth surface vibrate.
When the plate move from the surface of the earth, all the stored energy present in it is usually released in the form of seismic energy waves and due to the movement in the mantel, compression goes on increasing, then after , the earth surface vibrate.
Hope it has helped:-)
