Why do earthquakes occur?

According to seismologists, the surface of our Earth is mainly made up of seven large and many small tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving and frequently collide with each other. As a result of this collision, the corners of the plates may bend and they may even break due to excessive pressure. In this situation, the energy emanating from below finds a way to spread outward, and when this energy comes out from within the earth, an earthquake occurs.
