What is a earthquake? An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates. These giant pieces of the Earth's crust are always slowly moving. When they get stuck and then suddenly slip past each other, they release a burst of energy that travels through the ground as vibrations.
If you feel the ground shaking, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the vibration stops.
