What will most likely happen if two plates slide by each other?
An earthquake will happen
Do tsunamis have a connection to the movement of the earths plates?
yes, it does have connection of the earths plates because when two plates go together it burst water under the ocean
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
Can Scientists can identify where earthquakes will most likely occur?
They will happen around the edges of tectonic plates.
Which part of earths is divided into plates?
Inner core
Why are earthquakes less likely to happen at the center of earth's plates?
they are less likely to happen at the center of Earth's plates because the plates collide in the front or in the back and unless a plate is the middl3e and another is moving to its center it well most likey not hit its center.

Why is an earthquake less likely to happen at the center of the earths crust?
Because earthquakes are the result of two plates rubbing together. For example, if two plates are being forced into each other they may create what is called a subduction zone. One plate will be forced underneath the other. This quite obviously will cause some friction and maybe even some lifting of one of the plates. once the force becomes large enough to overcome that friction the plates will slip. An earthquake is what we feel on the surface when that happens. As to why they are not likely to happen in the center of the earths crust, The shock waves from this type of event will dissipate in the earth long before they get there.

How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
Where are hot spot volcanoes located in relation on Earths plates?
In the center/middle of the plate.
Earthquakes happen when these sections of Earth's crust move?

What would happen to the earths plates if the mantle completely cooled down?
They'd stop moving.
What happen as earth's plates move away from each other?
When earths plates move away from each other ( separate ) Volcanoes form.
