There are many Taiwan Earthquakes, but i believe i know which one you are talking about... the earthquake that occurred on September 21, 1999. If this is the one, then the plates would be the Eurasian and Philippine plates. What happened is that the Philippine Plate pushed against the Eurasian plate without any movement for a long period of time. This is commonly known as a seismic gap. Finally, the pressure built so high, that it slipped resulting in an earthquake.

No, earthquakes are triggered when a tectonic plate shifts. An earthquake takes place in the ground. Hurricanes, on the other hand, take place in the sky. It will take an enormous hurricane to move an area by one centimeter. But, they can never cause earthquakes.
Many earthquakes can travel through water until it hits land causing a on shore earthquake.
plate movement and plate tectonics
Oh honey, the Kamchatka earthquake was caused by the movement of the Pacific Plate sliding under the North American Plate along the subduction zone. It's like a tectonic tango down there, causing the Earth to shake and shimmy. So, in short, it's a classic case of plate tectonics doing its thing.
i dont know i was the one who made this question
Not that Often, According to scientist its about 30 years.

Yes, a moving plate tectonic can cause an earthquake. When two tectonic plates slide past each other, get stuck, and then suddenly release, it creates seismic waves that result in an earthquake. This movement releases accumulated energy in the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake.
a tectonic plate
When a tectonic plate suddenly moves, it is called an earthquake. This sudden release of energy occurs along faults or boundaries between tectonic plates, resulting in seismic waves. The movement can vary in magnitude and can cause significant damage depending on the earthquake's intensity and location.
The edges of the plate
The tectonic plates involved in Japan's 2011 earthquake were the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake resulted from the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate along the Japan Trench.
The tectonic plates involved in the Haiti earthquake are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by the movement along a strike-slip fault between these two plates.
