   How do earthquakes occur?

   • So, we conclude that, Earthquakes are usually produced by subsurface rock breaking along a fault line. The seismic waves that cause the ground to tremble are caused by this quick release of energy. When two rocks or plates touch against each other, they cling together a little. The earthquake occurs when the rocks crack.
