What is the three plate moments?
There are three different types of plate movements that cause earthquakes. The first is Divergent Boundaries (pulling apart), the second is Covergent Boundaries (coming together) and Transform Boundaries.
Which two types of plate movement produce the biggest earthquakes?
continental and oceanic
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Are earthquakes divergent convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.
What are three types of earthquakes caused by plate motion types from weakest to strongest?
divergent, transform, convergent
What four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?
There are three types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes. Lateral, convergent, and divergent.

What two types of natural disaster are associated with plate movement?
Earthquakes and volcanoes! Also earthquakes can in turn cause tsunami.

What stress causes earthquakes?
There are three types of stress tension, compression, and shearing they all cause earthquakes.
What plate boundary do earthquakes usually occur on?
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
Major danger of earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause several types of damage. Some of the major damage they can cause are collapsed building, sinkholes, tsunamis, and loss of life.
Did the Philippine plate and the pacific plate create the Kobe earthquake?
i am not sure. Most of the largest earthquakes in Japan are caused by subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate or Pacific Plate, with mechanisms that involve either energy released within the subducting plate or the accumulation and sudden release of stress in the overlying plate. Earthquakes of these types are especially frequent in the coastal regions of northeastern Japan.
What are plate boundary zone?
A plate tectonic zone is where two plates collide and cause the ground to move. Living in a plate tectonic zone can be very dangerous and there is many hazards such as erupting volcanoes and many earthquakes...
