WALT:Research about the different types of Natural Disasters

People have discovered that Earthquakes happen all around the world. And there is, or was Earthquakes on planet Mercury. Earthquakes are usually caused by earth's two plates shaking together or layering on top of eachother which makes the earth shake and form cracks in the ground. But some people also think that Earthquakes happen by big rocks under the ground that creates some wave that makes a Earthquake.
