Why do earthquakes occur?

Actually, the Earth has four major layers, which are called inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. According to information, the plates beneath the Earth keep rotating, and when they collide with each other, vibrations begin beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates move from their place, earthquake tremors are felt.
