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.
Along Faults. Earthquakes can also occur far from the edges of plates, along faults. Faults are cracks in the earth where sections of a plate (or two plates) are moving in different directions. Faults are caused by all that bumping and sliding the plates do.They are more common near the edges of the plates.long Plate Edges. Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. The earth's crust (the outer layer of the planet) is made up of several pieces, called plates. The plates under the oceans are called oceanic plates and the rest are continental plates.
