The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.

Hope this helps! Feel free to mark me brainliest!

What effect does plate tectonics have in organic evolution???
Rama09 [41]
It affects organic evolution because it may tend to shift land masses and as a result, it would change the climate of the area as well. The adaptations animals may have, in the past, had changed to a hot/cold climate and might no longer be needed and the animals will need to evolve further in order to survive successfully.

Hope I helped! :)
