compression of tectonic plates. eventually the pressure is enough to cause one of the plates to slip up over the other, that release of energy sends massive waves traveling through the ground, boom you now have an earthquake.

Not necessarily. They can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (moving into each other), transform (moving alongside). The friction created by these 3 categories results in earthquakes.
