Well the best way i can put it is that 2 platonic plates push on each other causing seismic activity that shakes the ground or an earthquake. Hope this helps!

Earthquakes are caused because two tectonic plates collided together and caused a tremor. Tectonic plates are what makes up the earth and they are constantly moving.
