The statement, that describes factors is involved in earthquake formation is "rocks breaking."
What is earthquake?
An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere, which generates seismic waves. It is a violent shaking of the Earth's surface caused by two blocks of earth slipping past one another.
Plate tectonic forces and gravitational forces cause deformation. The type of displacement that occurs during an earthquake typically occurs at zones where rocks fracture, resulting in faults.
Earthquakes are typically produced by subsurface rock abruptly breaking and rapid movement along a fault. The seismic waves that cause the ground to tremble are caused by this quick release of energy.
Hence the correct answer is rocks breaking.
