What cause did an earthquake make?
Well its from the earths plates under ground when one collapse the earths crust above starts rumbling witch causes a earthquake
What part of the earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plated to move?
asthensophere
Did the earthquake in Chile cause the earth axis to be tilted?
What? No...the earths axis has been tilted for hundreds of millions if not billions of years. If your question is: Did the earthquake in Chile cause a variation in the tilt of the earth's axis? Then the answer is yes, very slightly, but noticeable.
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.
What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.

How can an earthquake change the earths surface?
it can rapidly cause a landslide to occur
What part of earths interior is inferred to have convection that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
due to volcanics effects and movement of earth which affect the earth surface
What part of the earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plated to move?
asthensophere
What part of Earths interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
the asthenosphere
How do earthqukes form?
The earths crust is split into large pieces called plates. When they move they cause a earthquake.
Is it possible for all the earths tectonic plates to cause one big earthquake?
Yes, but it is highly unlikely.
Did god cause the tsunami in japan?
The earthquake caused the tsunami in Japan. And plate tectonics - which have been going on under the earths surface since the earth formed - caused the earthquake.
How is earths magnetic field generated?
It is believed that there are currents of molten iron ore in Earth's interior, which cause this magnetism.

How does the movement of earths plates cause earthquakes?
The plates rub together causing the rocks to move and it causes the ground to shake forming an earthquake. The more the plates move, the bigger the earthquake number.
