What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth's outer shell, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. This movement releases stored energy in waves that travel through the ground, making the earth shake. Most occur along faults, which are cracks where these giant plates meet and grind together.
If shaking starts, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy piece of furniture until the vibration stops.
