When jagged edges of rock plates grind past each other, it creates intense pressure and friction. This can lead to a release of energy in the form of an earthquake. The sudden movement of the rocks can cause shaking and vibrations in the Earth's crust, resulting in the seismic activity that is characteristic of an earthquake.
