What force is causing so many earthquakes all over the world?
There were over 2,000 earthquakes just last year all over the world. What is causeing it? Is it the moons gravatation or underground nuclear testing? What do you think is causing all the earthquakes?
Several have answered. When one plate wants to move against an adjoining plate, friction resists this movement, pressure builds and eventually the force that forces the movement is no longer held in check by resistance.
Earthquake results. We have thousands each day in some areas but most are felt only by sensitive instruments. Obviously, the big ones get everybody's attention; they surely get mine.
It is actually spelt 'plate tectonics' and it is a well accept scientific theory that the earth's crust is divided into 7 or 8 plates that shift along the earth's surface, or lithosphere. However, to answer your simple question in regards to sin and the effects of sin on the earth, you first have to interpret the Bible on its terms. The Bible teaches that the earth is less than 10,000 years old. It also teaches, as you stated, that sin brought about all the violence and evil we see and experience today. If you read the account of Genesis 1-3, everything was created perfect. This means there were no cataclysmic events happening on the earth prior to sin. Once man rejected God, he fell into sin, and all of creation because of man. This event brought about all the natural travesties we see throughout the world today. If you would carefully read through the book of Genesis with an open mind to what it has to say, you might just surprise yourself with the truth that it contains.
I personally think that mother nature is kicking back after the damage that has been done to the eco-system.
California has the San Andres Fault. There is a 90% chance that an earthquake will hit here in the next 10 years and drop part of California into the Pacific.
There are over 9000 earthquakes per day on your planet that you call earth. Many are very small and some are quite large and devastating. The cause is shifting sand, turn, turn, turn. The earth is not tilting.

The most powerful force in the world, Mother Nature.
It's the shifting of tectonic plates under the earths crust.
Or the power of the dark side...The force is strong here
on the dark side....

When you have vast slabs of the Earth's crust grinding against each other there are necessarily going to be earthquakes.
We are nearing the return of Jesus and the world events are proof of that.These are the end times without ant doubt !
I think that the earth is tilting more on its axis and this will cause more earthquakes and tornado's.
Mother nature is suffering from a case of PMS.
So all MANkind has to suffer, right along with her.
what ever it is Ithink it is Mother Nature trying to cleans her body and make it better for us few that can withstand when the world changes
