Detailed Solution

Movement of the plates, Volcanic eruption and Underground nuclear explosion can cause an earthquake.
All of the above options can cause an earthquake. Meteors hitting the earth can also cause an earthquake. The movement of the tectonic plates is the prime cause of most earthquakes. Volcanic eruption releases a lot of energy, quite enough for destruction on the ground level. Underground nuclear explosions release enough energy to shake the ground layer causing earthquakes.
