What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth's outer shell, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past one another. This movement releases energy that travels through the ground as waves, causing the shaking we feel. Most earthquakes occur along faults, which are cracks where these giant plates meet and push against each other.
If you feel shaking, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the movement stops.
