The earth's crust is made of large pieces called . These plates are constantly moving slowly (a few centimeters per year). Sometimes, they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is a sudden release of energy. This energy travels in the form of seismic waves (shock waves), causing the ground to shake.
