Answer:

Plate tectonics cause earthquakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of plate tectonics. Where there is a fault line there is plate tectonics, and when that fault line moves the plates shift and cause the earth to shake AKA an earthquake.

Hope this helps! :D
