Answer:

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake.This is also because the rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up.

<u>RESEARCH ON PROXIMA CENTAURI:</u>

Robert Innes discovered proxima centauri which is closest to the Sun in 1915 and it is believed to be 4.85 billion years old.
Innes used a blink comparator though later he was in competition with another scientist named, Voute who provided theoretical values pertaining to the star more accurately than Innes.
The recent findings found a planet which is located close to the Proxima Centauri making it the closest planet to our Solar System.
