It starts at the focus or hypocentre of the earthquake.
It results by creating a shockwave, which causes the ground to shake; this is an earthquake.
The passing jet's shockwaves almost knocked me down. An earthquake's aftershocks are a type of shockwave. Shockwave? What shockwave? I didn't feel any shockwave.
Tectonic plates influence earthquakes because of convection cells that move the plates around. When the plates collide, they cause a shockwave of energy released in the form of a earthquake.
Earthquakes form when two or more tectonic plates rapidly shift against each other. This rapid shift releases a giant shockwave, or, as we know it, an earthquake.
