What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth's outer shell, called tectonic plates, suddenly shift or slip past one another. This movement releases energy that travels through the ground as waves. Most earthquakes occur along cracks called faults where pressure builds up over time until the rocks finally break or move.
If you feel the ground shake, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy piece of furniture until the vibration stops.
