Answer: stress caused by plate movement

Explanation:

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, the different types of movements being divergent, convergent and transform.

Divergent boundaries: where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries: where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries: where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
