Many earthquakes are produced act converging plates. However a number of strong earthquakes also take place at transform boundaries where plates slide past one another, neither converging nor diverging. On rare occasions strong quakes will take place within a plate.

What feature would you find around converging tectonic plates?
Mountains, volcanoes, earthquake zones
What happens when two plates jerk into a new position?
Pressure causes tectonic plates move, buckle or shift causing plate subduction. Subduction is caused by kinetic plate movement of diverging and converging plate masses..
What caused the Japanese earthquake and tsuname?
Tectonic plates caused the earthquake, the Pacific and North American plate were rubbing against each other, and this caused the earthquake. the earthquake caused the Tsunami.
How is tidal energy made?
it is caused by the shocks of an earthquake and the earthquake is caused by the movements of the plates at the bottom of the earth
What type of plates caused the Chile earthquake in 1960?
Tectonic plates formed the earthquake in 1960 due to a collision with one another.
What plates caused the Kobe earthquake?
It was the Eurasian and the Philippine plates that moved and caused the earthquake in Kobe.
What type of fault was the Great Chilean Earthquake on?
The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together. In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.
What tectonic plates caused the earthquake?
PLATES

What two plates caused the earthquake?
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.

What plates caused the Haiti earthquake?
That would be the North American and Caribbean Plates. The earthquake happened on 12th January 2010
What is the cause of japan's tsunami?
An earthquake under the sea very close to Japan. Earthquakes are caused by the readjustment of the techtonic plates, and this is because the tectonic plates were converging into each other and since continental plates are more dense than oceanic plates the oceanic plates subducted into the mantle causing an earthquake under the sea. The waves slowly rolled across the ocean causing the waves to get larger as they were moving away from the focus point.
What caused the colchester earthquake?
Something with plates moving.
