Tectonic 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.

When tectonic plates collide an Earthquake is created.
the plates moved
the two tetonic plates collided and made a earthquake
The Intensity of an earthquake primarily depends on the force the earths plates collide against each other (the heavier plate would go down wards {oceanic plates} and the lighter plates {the Continental plates} go up up wards) , and that vibrations cause a earthquake.
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.

It was the Eurasian and the Philippine plates that moved and caused the earthquake in Kobe.

The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.

There was the Eurasian, Pacific and Philippine plates.
Yes, the plates have moved.
