An intraplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs in the interior of a tectonic plate, whereas an interplate earthquake (plate boundary earthquake) is one that occurs at a plate boundary.
Intraplate earthquakes are rare, but both can inflict large amounts of damage to populated areas.

Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
Where plates tectonics move past each other?
At tectonic plate boundaries, earthquake zones, and the edges of tectonic plates.
Is the movement of plates to form land masses is called plate tectonics?
Tectonic Plates* :DD
Examples of tectonic plates?
Plate tectonics is the geologic theory that the Earth's crust is made up of rigid plates. Some examples of tectonic plates are the African Plate, the Antarctic Plate, the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate.
Is plate tectonics the plural form of plate tectonics?
Yes, the singular form is normally plate tectonic or tectonic plate so the plural would be plate tectonics or tectonic plates. Dumb crap.
What is the movement plates called?
The movement of tectonic plates is part of the process known as plate tectonics.
What is the difference between plate tectonic and tectonic plate?
Plate Tectonics is the process by by which the earth's tectonic plates move.
What Is the theory that the earths lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere?
A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
What is the interaction between tectonic plates called?
plate tectonics
What is the difference between plate tectonics and tectonic plate?
There are two types of tectonic plates:oceanic plates, thin and dense composed mostly of basalt rockcrustal plates, thick and light composed mostly of granite rock
Where plates tectonics move past each other?
At tectonic plate boundaries, earthquake zones, and the edges of tectonic plates.
What is the theory that the lithosphere is divided into tectonic plates that move around?
That would be the theory of plate tectonics.
Where are the boundaries of tectonics plates?
The primary plate boundaries of tectonic plates are located around the continents.
Is the movement of plates to form land masses is called plate tectonics?
Tectonic Plates* :DD
What are tectonics?
Plate tectonics is the study of the large tectonic plates which float on the lithosphere, making up our crust.
What is the therory that explains the movement of tectonic plates?
The crustal movement of the plates in the earth are not completely understood by scientist and considered a phenomenon. It is an accepted theory that the strength of the water in contrast to the weakness of the land make the movement of the plates.
