Is increased erosion the cause of bedrock being left with scrapes and grooves?

What happens when oceanic crust scrape against continental crust?

As the plates scrape against each other, one goes under the other (for instance, the Pacific plate is inching it's way under the North American plate) causing tension to build along that point. At some point, enough tension builds that the upper plate "springs" back up, possibly causing an earthquake, and possibly causing a tsunami. This is what caused the Indonesian tsunami 12/26/2004.

Do different places have different reasons for the occurrence of the earthquake?

Yes they do depending on which type of faultline they're on or near. There are four types of faults: Normal fault, where one side of the faultline is descending into the Earth and rubs against the other side as it falls due to gravity. Reverse fault, essentially the reverse of the Normal fault; where one side is raised up along the faultline. Transcurrent(strike-slip) fault, where one side scrapes horizontally against the other side as the plates move (e.g. the San Andreas fault). Thrust fault, where one side of the faultline thrusts up onto the other side of the faultline.
