Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little.

An earthquake (or quakes, tremors) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth. They are caused by sudden movements of the Earth's tectonic plates. Earthquakes can be extremely violent or so slight that they only register on instruments.

The causes of an earthquake are:
•volcanic eruption
•man made causes like destruction of forests
