What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth’s crust, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. These plates are always moving slowly, but sometimes they get stuck. When the pressure builds up and finally breaks free, energy travels through the ground as waves, causing the shaking we feel.
If you feel the ground shake, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the movement completely stops.
