An earth quake occures when the underground plates that are near the center of the earth come together, like 2 over-lap, the friction will cause heat, and also when the 2 over-lap, they can crack, which then causes the earth quake. The size of the earth quake all depends on the size of the crack.

What describes the strength of an earthquake?
The amplitude of seismic waves from an earthquake is is measured by a seismometer. From this an estimate can be made of the amount of energy released by an earthquake (this is known as magnitude). The magnitude of an earthquake is controlled by the amount of energy stored within the deformed rocks of the crust. This is in turn a function of the elastic moduli of the crust, the cross sectional area of the fault rupture zone and the amplitude of the displacement on the fault.
