What is a earthquake? An earthquake happens when large blocks of Earth's crust, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. This movement releases energy in waves that travel through the ground, causing the shaking we feel. Most quakes occur along fault lines where plates push, pull, or grind against one another over many years.
If you feel shaking, Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table or desk until all movement has completely stopped.
