Lol, I'm learning that in my science class! The plates spread to far up,down,sideways, or anyway and that's what causes earthquakes... I think that's the right answer since I got a good grade on one if those ?.
If you mean tetonic plates, then no, sliding tetonic plates cause earthquakes.
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
Earthquakes are mostly found at the edges of plates because that is the area of which the plates collide in different ways resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
they are related by,they are plates
Sliding plates release tension and energy to cause earthquakes.
No. Earthquakes are generally caused by the rubbing of two plates (tectonic plates).
Tectonic plates
uranus is a gas giant. Gas giants lack the tectonic plates (rocky plates floating on top of a molten core) necessary to have earthquakes. Only rocky planets which have tectonic plates can have earthquakes.
earthquakes
Yes. Earthquakes are caused when the plates in the earth shift and there are still plates that shift in the water.
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
