Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly; the rocks catch on each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs. During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus (on top of the ground) is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

Earthquakes happen as a result of the movement of the plate tectonics in the lithosphere. This will cause the ground to shake and may cause a lot of damage depending on the magnitude.
earthquakes happen when deep in the earth starts to vilantly vibrate.
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
A few earthquakes happen in the mantle because of the folded deformation.Hopes this help. =D
Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates hit into each other. Causing an earthquake. ~DDG~
Yes
Yes. Earthquakes happen every day.
The Lithosphere is where earthquakes happen.
Yes, earthquakes happen in deserts.
earthquakes mostly happen around plate boundaries!
Earthquakes can happen anywhere.
iuhhjjungh
your mom and then she jumps and earthquakes happen
Earthquakes happen everyday everywhere so yes thialand often has earth quakes.
Yes, Romania is subjected to earthquakes.
55 earthquakes happen in the world. small ones though.
Yes they do if you ask how many earthquakes happen each day.
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
