What have they discovered about earthquakes?

they are caused by Tectonic plates which are constantly moving and when they crash into each other which causes a vibration and that triggers a earthquake...hope it helps :)


What part do plate tectonics play when discussing earthquakes?

Oh, how I do hope you are below an 8th grade level to be asking this question. The cause of an earthquake is the plates and faults scraping and moving along eachother, the movement of the plates causes the earthquake. That is how they are involved.


Are the continents moving?

Yes, the continents are constantly moving due to plate tectonics. The movement is very slow, usually a few centimeters per year, but over millions of years, it has resulted in the shifting positions of the continents on Earth's surface.


Why are the plates of the crust always moving?

The plates of the Earth's crust are constantly moving due to the heat generated by the core of the planet. This heat causes convection currents in the mantle, which push and pull on the tectonic plates, leading to their movement. This movement is known as plate tectonics.


Does the moon rise at the same time at the same place?
