What are the factors? If you meant to attach something it's not there.
Stone mountain is located in georgia and is naturally occuring quartz monzonite rock
If you meant to type coffee plants the answer is volcanic soils.
First off, let's look into how an earthquake happens:
As the plate move apart or collide given the convection current of magma, stress is built up with continuous plate movements. The pressure is then greater than the elastic strength of the rock. Rock breaks, the pressure of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Ground vibrates, resulting in earthquake.
How it provide evidence about the layers of Earth, is that the lower the layer, the hotter it is, which then cause the convection current of magma to happen,hence affecting the lithosphere.
Hope it helps!
