How and why earthquakes occur?

Earthquakes occur when a shift in the earth's crust causes tremors to rock the surface of the earth around the shift. Since the Earth's crust is divided into different plates, and these plates move around (very slowly) on the earth, there are earthquakes. Also, since there are different parts that the plates meet at, there are certain "hotspots" where more earthquakes happen (where the plates meet).
