An earthquake occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake. This release of energy is typically the result of tectonic plates moving past each other, creating seismic waves that propagate through the Earth. Earthquakes can also be triggered by volcanic activity or human-induced disturbances, such as mining or reservoir-induced seismicity.
