<span>The lithosphere, consisting of the crust and uppermost mantle, is comprised of solid brittle rock. The mantle is also considered a solid, although because of intense heat and partial melting, it is ductile. Finally, the inner core is also considered a solid due to incredible pressure on the largely iron-nickel material there. hope this helped:)</span>
Earthquakes are underneath the earth's plates, and once they shift, its called an Earthquake. Some Earthquakes form underneath the ocean, and sometimes tsunami's or floods can occur
