What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth's crust, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. This movement releases energy in waves that travel through the ground, causing the shaking we feel on the surface. They usually occur along fault lines where pressure from moving plates has built up over many years.
If you feel shaking, immediately Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table or desk until all movement has completely stopped.
