Layers of the Earth
OK. So let's get to know our home planet. The Earth. (^-^)
This third rock from the sun is made of several distinct layers:
1. The atmosphere (gas) - protects life on Earth
2. The crust - comprising the lands & oceans
3. The mantle (semi solid) - where the internal heat circulates
4. The core (liquid & solid) - iron, source of the magnetic field
OK. I simply wanna know why the earth quakes. So. If I understand it right - the Earth's crust is actually broken apart as plates و الأرض ذات الصدع [Q86:12] - which fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. Intense heat from the Earth’s core causes these plates to move. [wtu] And as it meet at cracks (fault lines), sometimes, things don't go smoothly & this releases energy - causing the ground to shake. والله أعلم
Warmer material rises, colder material falls
This plate movement is called plate tectonics. [web | video] It is due to the heating (rising) and cooling (falling) of the mantle from the hot core, known as convection. So is this movement like the water cycle?
And when 2 plates collide & uplifts vast land area - this forms mountains. These mountains reduces the earthquakes. "To relieve the stress, mountain ranges are often formed in the over riding land mass while earthquake prone zones are formed below" وألقى في الأرض رواسي أن تميد بكم [Q16:15]اعوذب لله من الشيطان الرجيم And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. (It is) the work of Allah, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do. [Holy Quran 27:88] ماشاء الله
وترى الجبال تحسبها جامدة وهي تمر مر السحاب
صنع الله الذي أتقن كل شيء إنه خبير بما تفعلون
والجبال أوتادا [Holy Quran 78:7 | video]
So is this how the mountains peg the earth?
I seek refuge in Allah SWT from errors

At the centre of this calamity, a smaller, human story has caught the world’s attention: the sacrifice of the so-called Fukushima 50 – the technicians who stayed behind to keep repair efforts going on Tuesday after radiation levels surged, forcing most of the 800 workers to evacuate.
On Twitter, a young woman who says her father is a technician at the site has been reporting snippets of his ordeal. “I’ve never seen my mother cry so much,” she posted on the day of the radiation spike and evacuation. “Please come back alive, dad.”

These reports [FT | BBC ] are so beautiful. ماشا لله I hope everyone is safe & well. May Allah SWT Helps & Comforts.
The Everest's summit are remnants of an ancient sea floor! ماشاء الله [discovery]
So. Does this support the theory that tectonic movements split the Red Sea? That the seabed rises, separating the Red Sea between its mountains? [Q26:63]
