It has to do with air pressure. Whenever there is a big difference between the air pressure inside your ears and outside your ears the ear drum expands or contracts to try to even out the pressure. This causes popping.

As you go up in altitude, the external pressure drops and this causes your ears to pop.

The air pressure changes and the original air pressure is trapped in your ears so when you move your jaw it releases the air pressure causing a popping sound or feeling in your ear.

Due to pressure difference. Pressure increases as you go down and decreases as you go up. When your ears pop the pressure inside of them is equalizing.
