conservative plate margins
The collision of tectonic plates, although very slow, is also very massive, and hence, violent.
The earth is made up of tectonic plates whose movements when they meet result in earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Cause the tectonic plates are rubbing against eachother.
An earthquake takes place when the plates rub against each other, the movement forces waves of energy to come to the earth surface. This causes tremors and shakes, and then we can say that an earthquake has taken place.
Earthquakes are mostly found at the edges of plates because that is the area of which the plates collide in different ways resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
No. Earthquakes are generally caused by the rubbing of two plates (tectonic plates).
Where plates meet
yes
Yes.
Earthquakes occur when a shift in the earth's crust causes tremors to rock the surface of the earth around the shift. Since the Earth's crust is divided into different plates, and these plates move around (very slowly) on the earth, there are earthquakes. Also, since there are different parts that the plates meet at, there are certain "hotspots" where more earthquakes happen (where the plates meet).
mountains and earthquakes
yes
The earth's crust is made up of plates that are always moving. If suddenly one moves on top or under another, than the earth shakes and it forms an earthquake or tremor, depending on how much the plates moved ( a tremor is a small earthquake.) Earthquakes only occur where the plates meet, for example in Japan and America there are lots of earthquakes because lots of plates meet on the area above them. The lines where the plates meet are called fault lines
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
The earth is made up of tectonic plates whose movements when they meet result in earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Earthquakes hardly ever happen in the middle of plates because the is no fault-line to move. The most common earthquakes in the middle of plates are because of Volcanoes.
They usually occur in places where two plates meet- faults.
