recent earthquake
why was the recent china earthquake so Severe?
serious answers plz.
Imagine two large rocks being pushed together. It rocks were slippery, they would slide up/down or side to side. The rock in the earth's crust, however isn't slippery. When two plates are being pushed together by movements in the magma below, pressure builds .... and builds.... and builds.... until finally BOOM. The rock moves with a sudden jerk.
Apparently a LOT of pressure had been building up along the fault (crack in the crust) in China and the pieces of the crust finally moved.
