Explanation:

Earthquakes are caused by friction at the ends of tectonic plates. WHen they become stuck at their edges from this friction, stress builds up,, and eventually overcomes the friction, becoming an earthquake. Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale. The largest earthquake ever documented was 9.5 in Chile on May 22nd, 1960.
