The lithosphere, (The "gooey" part of the mantel that is between the crust) Is moved by convection currents.
The Lithosphere moved suddenly has the Earth moved around.

A place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured is known as a fault. Faults are locations where the Earth's crust has cracked and moved along the fracture, often resulting in earthquakes. These fractures can vary in size and shape, and are important in shaping the Earth's surface.
Cracks in the lithosphere are called faults. These are fractures along which rocks have moved in response to stress, such as tension, compression, or shear forces. Faults are important in understanding the dynamics of plate tectonics and can lead to earthquakes when they suddenly release accumulated strain.
The uppermost mantle and the crust makes the lithosphere.
The lithosphere is composed of the crust and uppermost hard, brittle mantle.
Lithosphere (apex)
The crust and the upper mantle are a geological part of the earth called the lithosphere. There are 2 parts of the lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere, which is made up of land underneath water, and the continental lithosphere, which is the the part made of just land. The lithosphere lies on top of the asthenosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates, which are pieces of land floating on the lithosphere.
Oceanic lithosphere is dense enough to be forced down into the mantle. Continental lithosphere is not.
