It result from the moving of rock deep under the ground. This movement is caused by the rubbing of one plate into another. The plates have jagged edges, and so when they rub against each other, they get stuck. Since plates constantly move, the plates that are stuck create great tension, and when they are finally free, a huge amount of energy is released. Shock waves move from focus in all directions, and it causes the earth to vibrate.
That's It
The events that cause the Earth to quake and shake are earthquakes. An earthquake is caused when there is sudden movement under the Earth's surface.
That depends on how big the quake is. A magnitude 6 may shake for 20-30 seconds, but a magnitude 9 can shake the earth for 5 minutes and possibly longer.
That would usually be caused by an earthquake. I suppose a meteor strike or a nuclear bomb could also shake the bedrock.
Faults occur near plate boundaries because the earth is weaker there... The magma under the Earth's crust makes the plates move very slowly and sometimes two plates can crash into each other causing the ground to shake.
75% of the Earth's surface makes up the hydrosphere.
The tectonic plates of the earth shift and move. They overlap and collide with each other which makes the earth shake!
During an earthquake, the ground moves in waves due to the release of energy from tectonic plate movements. The waves travel through the Earth's layers, causing the surface to shake and vibrate. These waves can be of different types, such as P-waves and S-waves, which can move the ground in different directions.

they have much in common just like people. earthquakes are caused by volacones. the moving vibration makes the earth shake.
That depends on how big the quake is. A magnitude 6 may shake for 20-30 seconds, but a magnitude 9 can shake the earth for 5 minutes and possibly longer.
They start when the earth's plates shift, they are underground and when they shift they begin to vibrate which makes certain areas shake, so in a sense they form underground.
Earthquakes are caused by the slip of two plate boundaries. Then the earth begins to shake, that shaking moving through the earth finally getting to the surface. That is why the earth skakes when an earth quake happens.

the answer is an earthquake because the plates move so suddenly it makes the earth shake so therefore it would be called an earthquake!
the movement in the rocks dosnot cause the ground to shake?

What make the steering wheel shake is the tires that need wheel balance.
