When plates collide, plate boundaries are formed. There are three kinds. At divergent boundaries, two tectonic plates move away from each other and make earthquakes. At convergent boundaries, two plates come together and make mountain ranges. At transform boundaries, one plate slides under the other.

Are earthquakes all caused by the same thing?

Earthquakes caused due to the movements of the tectonic plates. It can be take even under the sea level in oceanic ridges (which is known as something like a crack on the tectonic plate under the ocean). The lithospheric plates are continuously moving on the asthenospheric layer due to the circulation of convection currents. When the plates are moving, in different different directions they make various kinds of collisions. These collisions also can be divided into several types according to the type of the plates. So when these moving plates collides with each other, earthquakes takes place. So the answer to the questions is simply yes

Describe the different requirements for two different printing or electronic out put processes?

Offset printing requires the creation of printing plates and uses ink transferred from plates to a rubber blanket, then onto paper. On the other hand, digital printing involves direct transfer of digital files onto paper without the need for plates, making it more suitable for smaller print runs and customization. These processes vary in setup costs, speed, and flexibility.
