Why do earthquakes happen?

The Earth is primarily composed of four layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The lithosphere, the outermost layer, is made up of tectonic plates and other materials. It is around 50 kilometers thick. There are a total of seven plates within the Earth, and these plates constantly move. When a majority of these plates start to shift, it indicates the onset of an earthquake.
