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, making it shake. In places like Vanuatu, plates are often pushing against or sliding under one another, creating these natural vibrations.
If you feel shaking, remember to Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the movement stops completely.
