These studies suggest that earthquakes are primarily caused by sudden disturbances in the Earth's crust, including fault formation, seismic wave release, and changes in elastic equilibrium, with additional influences from volcanic activity, human activities, and rotational singularities.
Earthquakes are natural phenomena characterized by ground vibrations caused by the release of energy within the Earth's crust. Understanding the causes of earthquakes is crucial for predicting and mitigating their impacts. This synthesis explores various scientific perspectives on the causes of earthquakes, drawing from multiple research papers.

Historical and Cultural Perspectives:
The primary causes of earthquakes include tectonic activity and faulting, volcanic activity, and human-induced factors. Tectonic movements and the sudden rupture of rocks along faults are the most common natural causes. Volcanic activity, particularly around ocean margins, also contributes significantly. Human activities like wastewater reinjection and gas extraction can induce seismic events. Additionally, the Omega-Theory introduces the concept of rotational singularities as a cause. Historical and cultural explanations have evolved, with modern science focusing on natural and human-induced causes.
