Answer:

1. Large chunks of Earth called tectonic plates collide with each other.

2. The edges of the plates slide past each other in close contact.

3. The plates create great stresses in rocks near the edges of the plate.

4. The separation of the plates release a great amount of energy.

5. The energy released causes shaking of Earth in that position.

6. The seismic waves created at the hypo-center spread out radially and causes shaking wherever they travel.

Explanation:

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. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little.

As of 2010, which of the following countries had populations exceeding one billion people?
Kaylis [27]
As of 2010, the two countries that are exceeding 1 billion people are China and India. This are by far the two most populated countries in the world, combined, they make around 1/3 of the world's total population. Even with the law that forbid the Chinese to have more then one child, that lasted few decades, their number still managed to grow (mainly because the law was not so strict in the rural areas). India, on the other hand, has very big fertility rate, there's no laws that restrict the number of children a family can have, and with this rate it's just matter of time when will India take over the number one place, as the world's most populated country.
