Hurricane Formation Diagram Style: How Earthquakes Form

Weather / safety infographic titled "How Earthquakes Form". FORMATION DIAGRAM archetype, editorial science-education illustration, sketchnote style, warning red & yellow palette, scientifically accurate, calm informative tone, no panic framing. Create a clear geological cross-section of Earth’s crust with tectonic plates, fault line, underground stress buildup, focus, epicenter, seismic waves, and layered rock strata. Emphasize earthquake formation, not volcano eruption, even if a volcano silhouette appears only as a background landform. Include 6 numbered stages with short heading IN English, one-line caption IN English, and a scientific cue icon for each stage: 1. "Plate Motion" — "Tectonic plates slowly move past, toward, or away from each other." icon: arrows. 2. "Stress Builds" — "Friction locks parts of the fault while pressure increases in surrounding rock." icon: compressed spring. 3. "Rock Deforms" — "Rocks bend and store elastic energy near the fault zone." icon: bent layers. 4. "Fault Slip" — "When stress exceeds friction, the fault suddenly slips." icon: crack line. 5. "Energy Release" — "Stored energy radiates outward as seismic waves." icon: wave rings. 6. "Surface Shaking" — "Ground shaking is strongest near the epicenter above the focus." icon: shaking house. Add clean labels in English for crust, tectonic plate, fault, focus, epicenter, seismic waves, and surface. Use arrows, simple legends, numbered callouts, and educational annotations. Composition should resemble a search-friendly formation diagram, visually clear and high-contrast. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no graphic disaster gore, no real death photos, no watermarks Scientifically accurate, no graphic disaster gore, no real death photos, no panic framing. Safety steps must be conservative and aligned with major civil-defense guidance.
