Arrange the events to describe how an earthquake happens. A) The plates create great stresses

B) in rocks near the edges of the plate.

C) The intensity of the earthquake

the epicenter.

D)Large chunks of Earth called

tectonic plates collide with

each other.

E)The seismic waves created at

the hypocenter spread out

radially and cause shaking

wherever they travel.

F)The energy released causes

shaking of Earth in that position.

The edges of the plates slide

past each other in close contact.

G)The separation of the plates

release a great amount of

energy.
