The earth's crust is made up of plates that are always moving. If suddenly one moves on top or under another, than the earth shakes and it forms an earthquake or tremor, depending on how much the plates moved ( a tremor is a small earthquake.)
Earthquakes only occur where the plates meet, for example in Japan and America there are lots of earthquakes because lots of plates meet on the area above them. The lines where the plates meet are called fault lines
