No, earthquakes happen as the result of Earth's tectonic plates moving. Tectonic plates are what make up the lithosphere, the top layer of the crust. When the plates move, they either rub against each other, called "shearing", collide with each other, "compression", or they move away from each other, "tension". As the plates move, the rumbling earthquake occurs.
