| The earthquakes are a result of the adjustment of the earth's balance. Earth is rotating around the sun in its own orbit in a naturally balanced state.
As we r aware from Newton's law anything is in its natural equilibrium unless until it is disturbed by external forces. For example when a dam is constructed in a place and huge quantity of water stored then there is an imbalance in the earths equilibrium. In order to get to the equibrium the earth adjusts its self. In this process there may be wobbling in the earth resulting earthquake. Similarly faulting in the earths subsurface also causes release of energy. This is the most simplistic way of explanation

Good article Mr. Subramanyam, very much informative. Why earth releasing it's energy. This energy was generated by it's own or recived from universe heavenly bodies incl Sun ? What could be the natuaral phenomenon of a Tsunami and how we can survive from such energy ( natuaral catastrophy / disaster)release ?
