What is a earthquake? An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the ground caused by the movement of giant rock slabs called tectonic plates. These plates constantly crawl over Earth's mantle, and when they get stuck and suddenly snap forward, they release energy that travels through the crust as vibrations.
If you feel the ground shake, Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the vibration stops.
