What is a earthquake? An earthquake happens when giant pieces of Earth’s outer shell, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. As these plates move, they can get stuck and build up pressure. When that pressure is finally released, energy ripples through the ground as waves, which is what we feel as shaking.
If you feel the ground shake, immediately Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy piece of furniture until all shaking has stopped.
