Plate Boundaries
If and earthquake occurs under the ocean. If one plate moves upwards vertically than the other plate. Then it will causes a killer wave on sea called a TSUNAMI which can cause severe effect even at a great distance from the sea.
because the tectonic plate under the Indian plate hits the plate under Eurasia as it continues to move northward and to push the Himalayas ever higher. The region surrounding Quetta in Pakistan is highly prone to earthquakes. I think the same goes for India
A severe earthquake in 1950 destroyed much of the city but most of the historic buildings have been restored.
Sydney does not have frequent or severe earthquakes.The last "major" earthquake was in 1999, it measured 4.8 on the Richter Scale and caused about 1000 homes to lose power.

The plate boundaries are where two plates will either push together, rub past each other or spread apart from each other. What causes stronger earthquakes is the pusing and rubbing of these two plates. It's strength depends on the severity of the movement of the plates but generally the closer you are situated to the plates the more severe it will seem.

No. The movement of Earth's plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis but is completely unrelated tornadoes. Tornadoes are produced by severe thunderstorms.
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
no it doesn't, it has to do with plate tectonics, when plates move the earth shakes and creates cracks on the ground, or very severe damage.
A conservative margin is when two plates try to slide past each other. When the two plates stick together, it builds up lots of pressure and when it is released, it creates severe earthquakes. (This is the case with the North American and Pacific Plates.)
Many occur along the Ring of Fire (where many volcanoes are located; volcanic activity and seismic activity are both caused by fluctuations in the Earth's crust due to unrest in the mesosphere), as well as along faults on the western coast of the United States. Earthquakes occur there daily. As a matter of fact, Earthquakes occur constantly along any plate boundary or fault, but the two places I just mentioned suffer from more severe earthquakes that occur more frequently.
shifting tectonic plates cause continents to move a few inches every year. also, if the plates start rubbing against each other, they can cause severe earthquakes. plates hitting and pushing toward each other can form mountains or volcanoes.
A conservative margin is when two plates are moving past eachother. However as they often can, they stick. The release of the two plates sticking creates pressure, which means severe earthquakes. But because no oceanic crust was destroyed or created there were no volcanic eruptions. :)
Pune comes under zone III of earthquakes. It is not prone to earthquakes as the belt of severe zone I passes from Gujrat. But, as 2012 is nearing, nothing can be predicted as the plates in the crust of earth are moving causing high risk.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes are all severe. It just depends on how strong they are and where they occur.
Moonquakes are much less severe compared to earthquakes. Earthquakes can be very strong and moonquakes are mild.
