How does an earthquake happen in the middle of a tectonic plate?
Many earthquakes can travel through water until it hits land causing a on shore earthquake.
What is the main cause of earthquake's?
The main cause of earthquakes is when there is a sudden movement of various plate boundaries or when plates scrape against each other. Some earthquakes are also caused from old plate boundaries or faults. Many earthquakes happen at faults, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
When does earthquake started?
Earthquakes usually happen when the giant tectonic plates of the world grind past one another. This happens when they get stuck and suddenly all this energy that is released takes form as an earthquake. However many places are vulnerable from earthquakes even when they are no where near a plate boundary. Places such as New York, London, Australia. These are called Interpolate earthquakes, cracks in the middle of the plate.

What causes so many earthquakes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
Earthquakes are actually very rare in the Atlantic Ocean as the only subduction zones in the Atlantic basin are along the eastern edge of the Caribbean Plate and the eastern edge of the Scotia Plate. Since these subduction zones are small, they are not exceptionally active and that accounts for the low incidence of earthquakes. Hope this helps.
Where do earthquakes generally occur?
The Ring of Fire
How many earthquakes happen in India?

How does an earthquake hit?
Earthquakes happen because of the shifting of tectonic plates. Its called a transform boundary. Its when one plate moves along another plate, causing a release of friction between the two plates. This happens often with the North America plate and the Pacific plate, or as most people know it, California. The pacific plate is moving up and moving against the west end of the N. America plate which is why there are so many earthquakes in California. Hope this helps!!
