A sudden shaking of rock in the Earth's crust
Real World Example
Imagine you're sitting in a quiet room, and someone suddenly slams the door; the room shakes for a moment, making you jump. This is similar to an earthquake, where stress builds up in the Earth's crust just like tension builds in the air before the door slams. When the stress is suddenly released, it sends shockwaves through the ground, causing the earth to shake, much like the vibrations you feel when the door slams shut.
