What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when giant underground rock slabs suddenly break or slide past each other along cracks called faults. This movement releases energy that travels through the ground as waves, causing the earth to shake. They occur because the tectonic plates making up Earth’s outer shell are constantly moving and pushing against each other.
If you feel shaking, immediately Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the movement stops, staying away from windows and glass.
