The earthquake was caused by movements along fault zones in the bedrock where the blocks of rock chafed against each other. In Devonian time, there were many big earthquakes that caused Hordaland to be broken up along fault zones. Some of these faults are visible along road cuts between Tofteøyna and Turøyna islands. Along the Hordaland coast, earthquakes still occur sometimes, though the quakes tend to be weaker.
