Seismic Triggers: An

Examination of the
Underlying Causes of
Earthquakes
Seismic Triggers: An
Introduction

This introductory slide provides an overview of

the topic Seismic Triggers and the underlying
causes of earthquakes. We will explore the
complex interplay of geological, tectonic, and
environmental factors that contribute to these
natural phenomena.
Tectonic Plate Movements

Tectonic plate movements are a primary

driver of seismic activity. The collision,
divergence, and sliding of these massive
plates create stress buildup, which can
ultimately result in earthquakes. We will
examine the dynamics of plate tectonics and
their role in triggering seismic events.
Geological Factors Influencing
Earthquakes

Factors such as fault lines, rock

composition, and geological
structures can significantly influence
the occurrence and characteristics of
earthquakes. We will explore how these
geological features contribute to the
initiation and propagation of seismic
waves.
 Conclusion: Understanding Seismic Triggers

In conclusion, the underlying causes of earthquakes involve a complex interplay of

tectonic plate movements, geological factors, and other environmental conditions.
By understanding these seismic triggers, we can better prepare for and mitigate the
impact of these natural disasters.
