The parts of an earthquake are as follows:
First there are body waves, which are seismic waves that travel in the ground, originating from the focus, or the starting point of the earthquake.
Above the body waves, just under the earth's surface, travel the slower-moving surface waves. This is what shakes the ground violently and causes humans to feel the quake's intensity.
When the quake is over, aftershock occurs; a tremor or a small quake following a large one.
Finally, there may be a landslide.
There are a number of features that are found in an earthquake. Some of the main features include movement of tectonic plates, collapse of buildings in some cases and shaking of the ground among others.
It's when theirs different movement in a type of plate boundary!
Destructive: Oceanic plate move the continental plate by going under - causing earthquakes and in areas a thing crust of volcano.
Conserative: When plates rub side to side they cause friction.
Constructive: When lava is pushed up from the seabed by separating plates, when this regulareley occurs and the set lava pushes out of the sea an island is created!
Hope this helped you : Ste
Earth :soil or dirt, the material in which plants grow + quake : is the result when the surface of a planet, moon, or star begins to "shake" having a noticeable feel
PLATE TECTONICS WHEN TO PLATES SLIP THEY form a earth quake

There are two types of earthquake scales. These types of scales include the Richter scale, as well as the seismic scale.
There are three forms of earthquakes which are the convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and the transform fault. The earthquake waves may be in P-waves (primary) and in S-waves (secondary).

Gujarat earthquake, and Kashmir earthquake.
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.
because of the two plates crushing together, it forms earthquake
A Earthquake is located where the two plates (a plate boundary) meet and there is to much pressure building up and that is how and where a earthquake is and how it happens.
there were 525 after shocks two weeks after the amin earthquake
the two tetonic plates collided and made a earthquake
