what caused the earthquake in the gulf this morning?

Answer 1

The earth's crust is made up of several plates. These plates are shiftiing. Where the plates touch, they resist that shift, and pressure builds up. Finally, the plates move with a jolt when too much pressure builds. That jolt causes the earthquake.

I didn't read anything about a tsunami as a result of the quake. Did you? The tsunami can cause a lot more damage than the quake.

Answer 2

Earthquakes are caused by the built up stress along a fault line under the surface of the earth. A fault line is where to tectonic plates overlap or border each other. A plate is a gigantic piece of solid rock/land that makes up Earth's crust that floats on top of the semi-solid, semi-solid mantle (the 2nd layer of the Earth). These plates move on the mantle and the moving against each other builds up pressure, and when enough pressure builds up the plates either slip past each other, or one slips underneath of another, ensuing with an earthquake. The website below can give you a much better explanation than that.
