'it happens because of human being's.it is caused by global warming' is an ever more popular explanation.

but if your looking for a scientificly proven answer then read on.

Earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the build up of pressure in the earths core,

to stop its self from gradually expanding till it bursts over mllions of years it has to release the pressure, one way it does this is through volcanoes where the gases from within the earth get shot out sometimes it picks up magma on its way up btus causing a lavial eruption.

Earthquakes are a result of gases squeezing up through the rocks till they reach the tectonis plates after a while so manny gases build up that the manage to get through the gaps between tectonic plates this can have such power that it moves the plate causing it to collide with a neighbouring plate at what is called a fault line this causes violent vibrations on the tectonic plate that has been hit tus causing the earthquake.
