Earthquakes occur from tectonic plate movement, transform, divergent and convergent.
KIDS ANSWER:
Earthquakes happen by the plates of the world moving,
these plates can move in three different ways. Transform which is when the simply slide past each other. There is also divergent and convergent divergent is when the plates don't like each other so they move away from each other, and convergent which is were the plates are mad at each other so they have a fight and go into each other.
hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!

∙ 9y agoTwo plates move parallel to each other (alongside each other) at a transform plate boundary.

∙ 11y agobecause there is more pressure when both plates slide past each other giving it more friction which causes a bigger chance of an earthquake to occur

Where do earthquakes occur mostly at?
yo momma hahahahahahah jk it's in faults and transform boundries.
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Why do earthquakes occur along the san anderas fault?
j
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What landforms occur on transform boundaries?
Rocks can form rift valleys and mountains.
What type of natural disaster happens at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes are the natural phenomenon that often occur at transform boundaries. An example is the San Andreas Fault, which has caused several catastrophic earthquakes.

What events can occur at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Do most earthquakes occur on fault lines?
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
What fault occur at transform boundary?
A strike-slip or transform fault.
What occurs when two plates slide and move next to each other?
it is a transform fault and earthquakes naturakly are going to occur
What geologic events occur at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
What geological events occur at transform boundary?
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
What types of plates do Earthquakes form on?
Earthquakes typically occur on a any fault because the most common earthquake is the tectonic earthquake and it occurs on all the faults, though usually has the most effect on strike-slip faults (like the San Andreas fault).
