A small earthquake
an earthquake happens
The same reason any earthquake happens, tectonic plates shifted against each other.
Like anywhere else, the earthquakes in Japan were caused by tectonic plates sliding against each other.
Because of tectonic plates
something about tectonic plates.....
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
the shut up
The tectonic plates were moving.
yes
because of all the tectonic plates.
Most earthquakes happen at the edge of tectonic plates, where the plates are colliding or sliding past each other. These areas are known as plate boundaries, and the stress and friction from the movement of the plates can lead to earthquakes.
