This is known as an earthquake.
Earthquake
An earthquake is a natural event that can be defined as a trembling or shaking movement of the Earth's crust. It is caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes can result in the displacement of the Earth's surface and can cause significant damage and destruction.
The study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust is called plate tectonics :)

No, earthquakes are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. They are not directly related to violent storms, which are caused by atmospheric conditions.
plate tectonics
An earthquake is a sudden release of energy in Earth's crust, causing ground shaking, trembling, and displacement of rocks along geological faults. It is typically caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath Earth's surface.
Earthquakes are called so because they are caused by the shaking of the ground due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. The term "earth" refers to the ground, and "quake" refers to shaking or trembling, thus combining to describe the natural phenomenon.
how do earquakes originate. they are caused by tectonic plates shifting beneath the surface of the earth. the movement causes part of the surface to shake which we call earthquakes.

The very thought of entering the dark and brooding forest caused him to tremble violently and filled him a sense of impending doom.
