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.

Seismic waves are basically enegry that travel through the earths

layers. From the movement of the earth when earthquakes form, it causes explosion or

eruption of volcanos.
