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

∙ 13y agoThe locations of earthquakes tend to be concentrated near tectonic plate boundaries.

∙ 13y agoTectonic plates are related to earthquakes because the for mountains and shake the earth while doing it. That's why tectonic plates are related to earthquakes.

∙ 14y agowhen the plates move, they can form volcanoes and cause earthquakes.

∙ 12y agoTectonic plates influence earthquakes because of convection cells that move the plates around. When the plates collide, they cause a shockwave of energy released in the form of a earthquake.

How do earthquakes relate to geography?
well an earthquake occurs when a techtonic plate moves. even by the slightest bit. techtonic plates make up the earth. when to plates converge (hit one another straight on) that makes a volcano which occasionally can spure out lava from beneath the crust
How does earthquake plate movement relate to mountain building?
When two plates of the earth's crust move together, they smash and build up, creating a mountain. This takes a while, but scientists have found seashells on top of mountains before, and it's because that the mountain was once under water and part of the sea floor. When this happens, the plates grind together making an earthquake. Hope this helps you out. :)
Do forces relate with gravity If so how do they relate?
Gravity is a force

no
How do cc's relate to horsepower?
Cc's do not relate to horsepower. Cubic centimetres (cc) is the measure of size of the engine. Horsepower is related to the engines type and tuning.
What causes mass movements?
tectonic plates. go to wikipedia to find out how tectonic plates relate to earthquakes, continental movements, and volcanoes
How do tsunamis and earthquakes relate?
Tsunamis are earthquakes made by volcanoes under water and when the eartquake happens by the teptonic plates rubbing together, the water goes blaistic and groups up and goes everywhere. I think, lol.
Why does the ring of fire have tsunamis volcanoes and earthquakes?
The Ring of Fire is also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The yellow line is the location of the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is bascically where the Earth's tectonic plates have spread apart and cracked, allowing warm lava to rise and causing many earthquakes and volcanoes. Also, the plates here often shift and that is why there are often tsunamis. Tsunamis are caused underwater by onshore earthquakes that are very powerful.
Why do you think the society did not relate earthquakes to natural phenomena?
Earthquakes are considered natural phenomena !

How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to tectonic plates?
Tectonic plates- any of several large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere which participate in plate tectonicsEarthquakes are when the plates move too much, and volcanoes hapen when there is a large gap in the plates. The magma/lava comes through the crust of the earth making an ignious rock mountain. aka a volcano
How does the motion of tectonic plates relate continental drift?
Continental drift is the theory that "plates" on the Earth are constantly in motion and have been for millions of years. Tectonic plates are the actual moving plates.

How do you plates tectonics and the theory of plate tectonics relate?
They are the same thing.
How does the movement of tectonic plates and continents relate?
When the plates drift apart through sea floor spreading, so do the continents
