Basically, the process is identical to an earthquake on land. The Earth's crust is made up of Plates, which move against each other. Sometimes they get stuck, resulting in a build-up of pressure which eventually breaks the obstruction. It the sudden release of this pressure, that causes an Earthquake. The only difference with a Seaquake, is that this happens underwater, on the Seabed.
The major problem with Seaquakes, are their secondary effects, the vibration and shockwaves can displace a large volume of water, which becomes a Tidal Wave or Tsunami.
