​​What is an Earthquake and what causes them to happen? Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. The Earth's crust is made up of several large plates that float on the molten rock of the mantle. When two plates grind against each other, tremendous pressure can build up. Eventually, that pressure is released in the form of an earthquake. The point where the plates meet is called a fault line, and the movement of the plates along the fault line is what causes the ground to shake during an earthquake. In addition to plate tectonics, earthquakes can also be caused by human activity such as the injection of fluids into the ground, the extraction of oil and gas, or the building of large dams. These activities can change the stress and pressure on the Earth's crust, leading to the movement of faults and the generation of earthquakes. Another type of earthquake is volcano-tectonic earthquake. Those are caused by the movement of magma, fluids and gases in the subsurface of a volcano. They are typically associated with volcanic activity and can be a precursor to an eruption. Earthquakes can also be caused by underground nuclear explosions, or even meteorite impacts. However, these types of earthquakes are extremely rare. In summary, the main cause of earthquakes is the movement of tectonic plates, but other causes include human activity, volcanic activity, nuclear explosions, and meteorite impacts.

​​​​How Do Antiperspirants Work? Antiperspirants are actually a subgroup of deodorants. While deodorants do not impact one’s perspiratory process, antiperspirants actively prevent sweat glands from releasing sweat, in addition to counteracting body odor with their own fragrance. Commercial antiperspirants mostly consist of compounds like aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminum-zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly as their active ingredients. These aluminum-based compounds react with the sweat directly; more specifically, they affect the electrolytes present in the sweat to form a gel plug in the duct of the sweat gland. This stops the glands from secreting sweat over the ‘target’ area. These gel plugs are removed naturally over a period of time through skin peeling. In a nutshell, antiperspirants basically prevent sweat glands from releasing any sweat, which automatically takes care of the smelly underarm problem. Additionally, they contain some sweet-smelling constituents that give a fragrant boost to the body.
