The earth is made up of several layers(地层).The top layer of the earth is called the earth’s crust. The crust is divided into sections which are called plates.

When two plates push against each other,or when two plates rub against each other,an earthquake happens. An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake. The shaking is caused by the movement of the plates.

Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries(边界) of the earth’s plates. Each of these plates is about 70 kilometres thick.
