Explain the causes and effects of earthquakes.

Earthquakes are natural geological phenomena that result from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, leading to the generation of seismic waves. These seismic waves create ground shaking, which can cause significant damage to structures and landscapes. The causes of earthquakes are rooted in the Earth's dynamic and ever-changing nature, primarily driven by tectonic forces.

1. Tectonic Plate Movements:
   The Earth's outer shell, or lithosphere, is divided into several large and small pieces called tectonic plates. These plates constantly move, driven by the heat generated from the Earth's interior. There are three main types of plate boundaries where earthquakes are most likely to occur:

   - Divergent Boundaries: At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move away from each other. This movement creates a gap that allows magma to rise ____ ____ ________ _________ _________.
