Earthquakes occur because of **plate tectonics**. They result from the movement of tectonic plates, which can create stress along faults in the Earth's crust, leading to the release of energy in the form of seismic waves. While cracks in the crust can be part of this process, the primary cause is the interactions of tectonic plates.
