Earthquake

Real World Example

Imagine you're sitting on a couch that's propped up by uneven legs, and suddenly someone leans on it, causing it to wobble unexpectedly. This is similar to how stress builds up along fault lines in the Earth's crust until it's released, causing an earthquake. Just as the pressure on one side of the couch causes it to tilt and shake, the accumulated stress between tectonic plates is released in a sudden jolt, causing the ground to shake.
