I recently did a report which included earthquakes, and I did a little research about your question. I'm not sure if what I found is entirely true, but the book I read said that scientists are not really sure. The book said that scientists thought that maybe it came from the mantle, where it is very hot. As the heat from mantle is released, it goes up to the crust in waves. These waves cause the tectonic plates to move with them.
the techtonic plates moving, earthquakes mainly happen on the crakes in the techtonic plates like new zealand has quite a few because they are on a crack.
They happen along the fault lines that separate or crash into each other. The planet is made of Tectonic plates that are constantly moving, and that's why earthquakes happen
It will stop moving in 200 million years.
False. When plates give way in this manner the result is an earthquake. Volcanoes are produced by different but related processes.
They are floating on the magma below them and the magma itself is moving.
The tectonic plates were moving.
Tectonic Plates are moving in all directions...
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
Divergent plates are found in places where the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
The continental plates were moving at that time and separated apart
They'd stop moving.
The plates that cause earthquakes are called tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving, which can create stress along their boundaries. When this stress is released suddenly, it can result in an earthquake.

Moving Gelatine Plates was created in 1968.

moving plates
Friction causes plates to stop moving temporarily. The motion of the magma under the plates will cause the plates to move again.
