Getting to Know: Why Earthquakes Occur
... Tectonic plate movement is the primary cause of earthquakes. As tectonic plates move, they grind against each other or push into each other. The edges of the plates rub against each other with a lot of friction, and the edges can become stuck for awhile. If this happens, pressure builds up in the cr ...
