All of the above statements are correct and can cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are typically caused by the movement and interaction of tectonic plates. This can occur when blocks of crust slide against each other at plate boundaries, when pressure builds up in molten rock beneath the Earth's crust and causes it to shake, when tectonic plates break apart into smaller plates causing crumbling and shaking, or when sudden motions in Earth's mantle cause the crust to shift.
