Main Content. An earthquake is ground shaking caused by a sudden movement of rock in the earthâs crust. Such movements occur along faults, which are thin zones of crushed rock separating blocks of crust.
Earthquakes occur when rock shifts in position on either side of a fault. Tectonic plate boundaries are massive faults that extend down to the asthenosphere. Most earthquakes take place along tectonic plate boundaries because that is where most of the shift occurs.
