Can friction cause an earthquake?
Yes it can Earthquakes are caused by friction between tectonic plates. The Earth's crust is made up of tectonic plates that basically float around on the magma in the Earths mantle. When these plates collide or move against each other, it causes great amounts of friction and tension in the crust. When enough tension builds up and is released at once, the result is an earthquake. Earthquakes happen near coastlines because that is commonly where the tectonic plate collisions occur.

How do earthquakes lose power?
Well....Earthquakes are Caused by a Great buildup of Tension within a Fissure in Earth's Crust....Widely Known as a Fault Line,once the Tension has built up to a Great Degree,the Energy is Released as a Series of Seismic Waves that cause the Ground to Vibrate in Great magnitudes....once all this Tension is Released the Seismic Waves Cease and the Ground Stops Moving.
