You have it backward! The ground breaking causes earthquakes. differential tension builds at a plate junction, and when that tension overcomes the forces holding the plates in place, they jump and slide, causing breaks and cracks and depressions and mountains and all kinds of other geological activity.

What does plate tectonics have to do with volcanoes and earthquakes?
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.

What is the cause of earthquakes in Southern California?
The tectonic plates shift causing them to collide and shake the ground.
What effect can earthquakes have on buildings?
Earthquakes can cause damage to buildings by shaking the ground, leading to structural failure, collapsing walls, and breaking windows. Ground shaking can also cause non-structural damage such as cracks in walls, ceilings, and foundations. Additionally, earthquakes can trigger landslides or liquefaction, further compromising building stability.
