example of these is the plates are moving in different ways and when it move the earthquake will occur
yes
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
Plate boundaries are the absolute edges of the tectonic plates that make up our earth's crust. These plate boundaries clash with others making what are known as fault lines, which are the cause of earthquakes.
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
Most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen along the edges of the plates.
Plate Boundaries
Earthquakes occur in the lithosphere, which is the crust and solid brittle portion of the upper mantle. The lithosphere is broken into several pieces known as tectonic plates. Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near the boundaries between these plates.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.

The plate boundaries that have the largest magnitude earthquakes are convergent plates. Convergent plates are moving together and eventually collide. These plates are usually along the edge of an ocean and next to a continent.
