1. Are vibrations or  tremors produced in the earth's outer layer or crust

Explanation

Earthquakes are the correct answer because they refer to the vibrations or tremors produced in the earth's outer layer or crust. Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake. This can happen due to tectonic activity, such as the movement of tectonic plates or volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes can occur at different depths, and they can be shallow or deep. Earthquake belts are regions where seismic activity is more frequent, and waves are the energy that propagates through the Earth during an earthquake.
