All of the above responses are correct. Construction issues and building irregularities can contribute to the intensity of an earthquake, but the main cause of earthquakes is the sudden motion in Earth's mantle, which causes the crust to shift. This motion is caused by the movement and interaction of tectonic plates, which can expand and cause shaking. Additionally, blocks of crust sliding or rubbing against each other, typically at plate boundaries called faults, can also lead to earthquakes.
