When 2 of the plates meet, they collide and slide, this causes movement in the ground. The plates don't shift very much very often (It takes a long time for them to push on each other to make the earth shake intensively). Places where earthquakes often happen are most likely on a tectonic plate. It is not uncommon to have under water eruptions or earthquake'.

What is the moment magnitude of earthquakes that are generally not felt by people?

Earthquakes with a moment magnitude of around 2.0 or lower are generally not felt by people and are often termed micro-earthquakes. These small tremors can be detected by seismographs but typically do not cause any noticeable effects at the surface. Magnitude 2.0 earthquakes occur frequently but go unnoticed by the general population.
