Where 2 plates moved apart from each other are called?
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
What types of people are more vulnerable to earthquakes?
Its not people that are vunelrable, its more like countries. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates shifting and giving way, its where 2 plates meet that earthquakes are caused. On google images you can probably find tectonic plates maps and it will show you where and what places are on top of the plates. Other then that no specific people are targeted unless you count the residents of the countries!
What 2 tectonic plates caused the Kobe earthquake?
The Phillipene and the Eurashian
Which boundary is a convergent boundary?
its when 2 tectonic plates converge or colloide
Why can you have earthquakes and volcanoes when you are not at the edge of a tectonic plate?
Because an earthquake happens when 2 tectonic plates hit each other.
Where does subduction happen?
subduction occurs where 2 continents meet or where the tectonic plates meet. :)
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates collide?
convergence
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates separate?
Divergent boundary.
What is it called when 2 tectonic plates pass each another?
earthquake
Is Mt Eyjafjallajokull on 1 or 2 tectonic plates?
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.

Is it true that the continents close to the tectonic plates will have earthquakes?
No. Everything lies on a tectonic plate. Cities that lie near where 2 tectonic plates meet have earthquakes. Tectonic Plates expand and contract, and it is often that they expand and rub against each other. As they rub, they may overlap and cause an earthquake. Obvioulsy, a city directly above where they overlap will feel it more than a city which is in the middle of a tectonic plate.
When 2 tectonic plates move away from one another the boundary between them is called?
a divergent plate boundary.

It creates a volcano
