What is a earthquake? An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the Earth's surface. It happens when giant slabs of rock, called tectonic plates, shift or break apart deep underground. This release of energy creates waves that travel through the ground, similar to ripples moving across a pond after a stone is thrown in.
If you ever feel the ground shake, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy piece of furniture until it stops.
