Earthquakes don't really have a purpose; they just happen.
"Purpose" implies that the said process can be useful. Rain also occurs naturally, but we use it to cultivate fruits and vegetables. You could say that is its "purpose." Earthquakes, on the other hand, aren't useful to us at all. They can cause massive damage and the kinetic energy involved cannot be harnessed.
