What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth’s crust, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. This movement releases energy in waves that travel through the ground, making it shake. Most earthquakes occur along faults, which are breaks in the rocks where these massive plates meet and push against one another.
If you feel shaking, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the vibration completely stops.
