What is a earthquake? An earthquake happens when large blocks of rock beneath the Earth's surface suddenly slip past each other along a fault line. This movement releases energy in waves that travel through the ground, causing the shaking we feel. Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the planet's massive tectonic plates meet.
If you feel shaking, immediately Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the vibration stops completely.
