When these plates squeeze or stretch, rocks at their edges shift with great force, leading to earthquakes. Scientists are working on predicting earthquakes, which can be identified by ground shaking, objects wobbling, and noises or jolts. Earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale, with higher magnitudes indicating more severe impacts.\n
