Due to the sudden change in the climate of the ocean.

Or because when to plates build move towards each other there is too much pressure so one plate gives up and moves upwards and when some rocks are getting on the way they stop and then they break it in a sudden move which makes earthquakes and after them comes something called aftershocks.
