What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large sections of the Earth's crust, called tectonic plates, suddenly move or slip past each other. This movement releases energy that travels through the ground as waves, causing the shaking we feel on the surface. Most earthquakes occur along the boundaries where these giant plates meet.
If you feel the ground shake, immediately Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until all movement has completely stopped.
