It was the Eurasian and the Philippine plates that moved and caused the earthquake in Kobe.
The Phillipene and the Eurashian
There was the Eurasian, Pacific and Philippine plates.
PLATES
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.
plates moved
Tectonic plates caused the earthquake, the Pacific and North American plate were rubbing against each other, and this caused the earthquake. the earthquake caused the Tsunami.
it is caused by the shocks of an earthquake and the earthquake is caused by the movements of the plates at the bottom of the earth
the Kobe earthquake wasn't caused by a volcanic explsion, yes it occured at a destructive plate margine where the phillipine plate subducted under the eurasian plate but no vulcanism occured, the friction caused by the subduction caused the earthquake which has been identified to have a strike slip mechanism
That would be the North American and Caribbean Plates. The earthquake happened on 12th January 2010
Something with plates moving.
the tectonic plates
Tectonic plates formed the earthquake in 1960 due to a collision with one another.
