Earthquakes cause massive destruction.
They occur along fault lines of the earth's crust.
When the stress of moving tectonic plates exceeds the stregth of the rocks, a massive amount of energy is released along fault lines.
Displacement of the earth's crust takes place and elastic strain energy is released, which causes shock waves to form.
