Earthquakes cause horizontal shaking, or vertical shaking, or even the two combined, which is the most damaging, for equal magnitudes. If you are outside, then you should lie on the ground, because if you try and stay on your feet, then you could get thrown into the path of passing traffic, or against a lampost, and such.
If you are inside, then the danger is from flying/falling objects, especially glass, if the flexing of the walls shatters windows, so you seek protection from those under a table, bed, whatever is available. Again it also means getting off your feet for the same sort of reason. Once the shaking has stopped, you should then evacuate to an open area, weakened building and such may take a little while to start collapsing.
