Fault lines are under enormous pressure from the two pieces of the earth's crust pushing together. ... Earthquakes occur when rock shifts or slips along fault lines Earthquakes generate waves that travel through the earth's surface. These waves are what is felt and cause damage around the epicenter of the earthquake.

Earthquakes are the result of sudden movement along faults within the Earth. The movement releases stored-up 'elastic strain' energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake.
Explanation:
Strike-slip fault:
strike-slip fault, also called transcurrent fault, wrench fault, or lateral fault, in geology, a fracture in the rocks of Earth's crust in which the rock masses slip past one another parallel to the strike, the intersection of a rock surface with the surface or another horizontal plane
Normal fault:
This is the most common type of fault. It forms when rock above an inclined fracture plane moves downward, sliding along the rock on the other side of the fracture. Normal faults are often found along divergent plate boundaries, such as under the ocean where new crust is forming.
Thrust fault:
thrust fault is a type of reverse fault that has a dip of 45 degrees or less. If the angle of the fault plane is lower (often less than 15 degrees from the horizontal) and the displacement of the overlying block is large (often in the kilometer range) the fault is called an overthrust or overthrust fault.
