Can a broken belt make a engine block shake when it is started or in park?

Question:
I have 2001 Hyundai Elantra. that was running fine this morning, but now when I start it up or even attempt to drive it, the car shakes and when the engine is viewed under he hood, it is shaking too. Could this be do a broken serpentine or other engine belt? Or another cause? Thank you for any help or thoughts!

Having all of your belts mounted helps keep the engine balanced. You may not notice the difference but it can on some engines.
