-volcaniceruptions

-meteor(流星)impacts

-undergroundexplosions(anundergroundnucleartest,forexample)

-collapsingstructures(suchasacollapsingmine)

Butthemajorityofnaturally-occurringearthquakesarecausedbymovementsoftheearth'splates,aswe'llseeinthenextsection.

Weonlyhearaboutearthquakesinthenewseveryonceinawhile,buttheyareactuallyaneverydayoccurrenceonourplanet.AccordingtotheUnitedStatesGeologicalSurvey,morethanthreemillionearthquakesoccureveryyear.That'sabout8000aday,oroneevery11seconds!Thevastmajorityofthese3millionquakesareextremelyweak.
