Best Answer

Because "tremblor" isn't a word. You might be thinking of "trembler". "Trembling" is "tremblor" in Spanish. We use the Spanish word as a technical word for earthquakes.

I'm adding a "duh" correction. This answer doesn't make sense. What should have been said is "trembling is TEMBLOR in spanish. Otherwise this is meaningless
