the tectonic plates of the earth move and scrape against each other
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Contrary to belief, earthquakes don't just occur on Earth. They can form on any planet that has a rocky surface and tectonic plates. For instance, the moon can, and often does, have earthquakes, although they are more commonly referred to as lunarquakes. Mars can have earthquakes as well. Just because the title is earthquake, does not limit the event to just our planet. That is just what we Terrans (Earthlings, humans, etc.) call them.
Some of the deepest earthquakes on Earth occur in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. These earthquakes can happen as deep as 700 kilometers (430 miles) below the surface. Examples of subduction zones where deep earthquakes occur include the Japan Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench.
Earthquakes can occur anywhere on Earth but large ones are more common at destructive plate bookbinderies.
because they are not earth
a crack in earth's crust where earthquakes occur
on the tectonic plate margins.
of course in earth's crust !maybe in the Philippines:)mhaezx
the majority of earth quakes in the USA occur in California and in Alaska
if a planet was close to earth it would cause earthquakes and more. if it collided if earth depending on the size if it is big it will collide with earth.
Earthquakes occur when a shift in the earth's crust causes tremors to rock the surface of the earth around the shift. Since the Earth's crust is divided into different plates, and these plates move around (very slowly) on the earth, there are earthquakes. Also, since there are different parts that the plates meet at, there are certain "hotspots" where more earthquakes happen (where the plates meet).
