a faultis a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement along the fractures as a result of earth movement.
the plates move at the faults because
stress builds up in rocks and when it reaches a level that exceeds the strain threshold it will move along the faults
Tectonic plates are separated by "faults," places where the structure of the Earth is cracked. Most earthquakes occur along fault lines.
Fault Lines usually form when too much presseris put onto it. They form onEarths surface The shift in tectonic plates causes the faults to form.

The tectonic plates and the fault lines create movements that most commonly create earthquakes. Earthquakes occur along the fault lines, causing the tectonic plates to shift.
There are thousands of fault lines all over the world. A fault line is a surface trait of a fault. These are described as an intersection line found between the fault plain and the earth's surface.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.
It is indicative of the presence of fault lines (cracks in the mantle), or faults (separations between tectonic plates).
if the plates are being pushed together, there can't be a crack.... but there is a fault that could be the answer to your question

Fault lines or plate boundaries.

A fault line is the boundary between two tectonic plates; fault lines do not ordinarily appear on maps.

because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
Yes on the fault lines between the earth's tectonic plates.
