The plates under the Earth's surface collide together:)
The Tectonic Plates.
The Earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving and when they rub against one another, it causes an earthquake. So the thing that is shaking is the Earth's crust.
An earthquake is when the tectonic plates under the earth move in different directions causing the earth to shake. Everybody*"GROW WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED"
it causes an earthquake(:
well,there are plates under the earth.belive it or not, they move.but,if one goes off track,it causes the earth to move and makes an earthquake.
Friction between shifting tectonic plates builds up, and the energy release causes an earthquake.
When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
An earthquake is a geologic event that occurs when tectonic plates are displaced violently. The release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust causes shaking of the ground surface.
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
