It is both because earthquakes are gecologic events.

Can tree roots cause earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes are generally caused by the rubbing of two plates (tectonic plates).
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
How do the locations of earthquakes relate to the earth's plates?
When plates collide or slide apart, earthquakes can be caused."There's really only one explanation for all of the questions about tectonic plates popping up... Why not just do your own homework? It would work a lot faster than waiting for some other random person to do it for you. Alas, (wow I just said "alas") I still answered the question for you..." - anh1227
Earthquakes occur mainly allong the edges of?
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
Can tree roots cause earthquakes?
No. Earthquakes are generally caused by the rubbing of two plates (tectonic plates).
Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
How many earthquakes have been caused by tectonic plates?
All of them.
What are 2 causes of earthquake?
earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
What useful changes are caused by earthquakes?
because of moving of tectonic plates
What Weather causes an Earthquake?
Earthquakes are not caused by weather. The are caused by movement of tectonic plates.
Can landslides be caused by plates in the earth moving?
Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
What tectonic plate caused Christchurch's earthquakes?
there tectonic plates under the water. so when the tectonic plates are moved or hit each other means there will be an earthquake.
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
Why do earthquakes usually occur plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Do moving tectonic plates cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes in the sea. Earthquakes are caused by moving tectonic plates. So, indirectly, yes. See the related question below for more information on the causes of tsunami.
