tectonic plates fit together like a jigsaw puzzle that makes up the surface of earth. you could compare the lithosphere to the cracked shell of hard - boiled egg. the shell may be broken into many pieces but it still forms a crust around the egg itself.
Tectonic plates fit together like a jigsaw puzzel that makes up the earth.
Tectonic plates are separated by "faults," places where the structure of the Earth is cracked. Most earthquakes occur along fault lines.

The Lithosphere.
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
On tectonic plates.
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
No. Everything on earth is on at least one tectonic plate. It is the boundaries between different plates that see the most earthquake activity.
