An earthquake is caused by the sudden movement of rock materials below the earth's surface, resulting in a weak to violent shaking of the ground. Earthquakes originate at tectonic plate boundaries where the movement of these plates causes stress to build up. When this stress is released, it results in seismic waves that cause the shaking we experience during earthquakes.
