Question

question 11 (1 point) what causes most earthquakes? a volcanic eruptions shaking the surrounding ground b plates moving against each other, releasing energy as vibrations c asteroid impacts creating shockwaves d explosions of underground gases

Explanation:

Earthquakes are mainly caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When plates move against each other, stress builds up. When this stress is released suddenly, it creates vibrations (earthquakes). Volcanic eruptions (a) can cause some shaking but are not the most common cause. Asteroid impacts (c) are extremely rare causes. Explosions of underground gases (d) are also not a major cause compared to plate - tectonic activity.

Answer:

B. Plates moving against each other, releasing energy as vibrations
