What natural hazard usually results when crustal plates scrape and slide past one another?

Tectonic plates are huge plates of rock covering the surface of the earth. They are very slowly moving, some moving together, some moving apart.
Sometimes they have been pushing or pulling a bit without any movement until suddenly they give a jerk. That jerk is usually an earthquake.
The natural disaster from the movement of tectonic plates is an earthquake, and if it's under the sea, then it might cause a tsunami.

The 2007 Indonesian earthquake and subsequent tsunami was so strong, it even affected the speed of the Earth's rotation.

Why does natural selection not directly affect genes?
Natural selection acts on the way organisms interact with one another and with their environment. The genes of organisms are not usually themselves involved in this interaction: they direct it through intermediaries such as proteins. So natural selection must work through these intermediaries to affect genes.
