You make a model of a ground and then you use a metal peice and model it into a tetonic plate and try to make it move.
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.
PLATES
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
It was the Eurasian and the Philippine plates that moved and caused the earthquake in Kobe.
earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates
Tectonic plates colide causing the earth to shake.
an earthquake's epicentre is under the plates and if the epicentre is near or under water, the vibrations will disturb the water and make waves or even tsunamis.
Tectonic plates influence earthquakes because of convection cells that move the plates around. When the plates collide, they cause a shockwave of energy released in the form of a earthquake.
The plates that cause earthquakes are called tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving, which can create stress along their boundaries. When this stress is released suddenly, it can result in an earthquake.
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
the 2 plates that go around the world are rubbing against each other trying to go past and that makes an earthquake
