Your question may seem to be a simple answer question, however it really isn't. There have been and still are many theories to earthquakes. Some people believe it is the world plates crashing together and causing big vibrations around the area of the crash, but others believe it is an invisible force acted by the gods. It varies from religion to religion, but it can be said that when "God" is having a tantrum he stomps his feet on earth's surface. This would then cause large shakes and thus we feel earthquakes. Other periods believe it had been from the titans of the ancient Greek times. When the Titans build up some energy they simultaneously beat the world and thus makes trembles. The final explanation is from the Scientology view n the matter. Extraterrestrials are constantly shooting at the earth trying to break a hole through our atmosphere to reach there fallen comrades locked down on earth who are also shooting from below the atmosphere.
I do hope this answers your question, on the main cause for earthquakes.
ok what that person said ^ to me didnt make any sense at all. so i will give you the short version! there are tectonic (sp?) plates in the center of the earth. when they move, it causes the earth to shake or move with them. that causes a earthquake.

Seismology is the science of earthquakes and their causes. A scientist who studies earthquakes and their causes is called a seismologist.
Earthquakes are cool...

It is called the Ring of Fire. Or, if you weren't being specific, a place where earthquakes occur is called a fault line, where the continental plates meet. When they shift, it causes earthquakes and can form volcanoes.
