This imagery is often associated with divine intervention or theophany, where God's presence is so overwhelming that it causes the very foundations of the earth to tremble. Historically, this can be linked to events like the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, where the earth literally quaked as God descended upon the mountain (Exodus 19:18).
