the theory of plate tectonics is that subduction occures on the edges of the tectonic plates creating a movement. When the tectonic plates push or pull apart with enough pressure an earthquake starts. That is why California has major earth quakes. The pacific plate is grinding California in a horizontal movement. Once the pressure is released a tsunami could happen.

A theory that says the lithosphere is divided into plates that move around on top of the asthenosphere is called '' plate tectonics''
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
