The Pacific and North American plates.
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
The Gujarat earthquake occurred on January 26, 2001.
The shifting of plates causes patterns in earthquake activity. Different plates shift in different degrees depending on the friction and temperatures involved.
It happened because of tectonic plates releasing pressure in the area after a collision margin took place.
Gujarat earthquake, and Kashmir earthquake.
There were two tectonic plates involved: the Pacific plate and the plate under Northern Honshu (it is unknown which plate is under the island).
in 2003
The Pacific plate and the indo-australian plates converged during the christchurch eartquake. There is a good description of what happens when plates converge in the bbc website.
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.
Oh, how I do hope you are below an 8th grade level to be asking this question. The cause of an earthquake is the plates and faults scraping and moving along eachother, the movement of the plates causes the earthquake. That is how they are involved.
