No, it would only happen if everyone in the world asked this question at the exact same time. Then, there would be earthquakes.

Not earthquakes. Say everyone does jump up though, can they make the earth move? Well, when they jump, they exert force on earth, push it away, gravity pulls the two back together again. In the end, I'm pretty sure nothing happens.
More edit:
I meant more if everyone jumps on one side of the earth then. It moves only a negligible distance, just as a result of the force exerted by the jumpers, and returns back as gravity pulls everyone back together. That was just an answer to when people ask about everyone jumping, not causing earthquakes though.

rubbish. as much as we expect of of over-inhabitants, the human race is a trifling mass whilst in comparison with the Earth. I worked it out as quickly as. And the guy above taking a hundred kg for an regular grownup is incorrect. 50Kg could be closer - a 0.33 of the international are little ones, and the main populous countries (aside from u . s . a .) have small and underfed human beings. besides, 6 billion at 50 Kg is 3 hundred million tonnes (3 x 10^8) The Earth is 6 billion trillion tonnes (6 x 10^21) Divide Earth by way of human beings and additionally you get 2 x 10^13 - it particularly is 20 trillion human beings. The Earth is 20 trillion situations the burden of all of the human beings on it. Ants, termites, coral, plankton and micro organism all have entire lots better than the human race.

No, there would just be amazing looks on everyone's face because everyone in the world was doing the same thing at the same time. That is about all that it would accomplish. but no earthquakes.

If everyone jumps up at the same time I'll tell you what will happen. Absolutely nothing. They will be wasting there time because eathquakes are cause by plate moving under the earths surface not people moving about.

Not a chance. Plate movement causes earthquakes.

No, I don't think so. Earthquakes are caused by shifting plates way beneath the Earth's surface.

The mass of all the six billion plus people on Earth combined is so insignificantly small when compared to the Earth's mass that it wouldn't make a difference.

no. nor would it cause the earth to move. plate movements causes earthquakes.

People are spread out across the world, the effect of it all would cancel itself out.
