What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?

The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)


What occurs on faults?

The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
