A fault line is a place where two plates rub together. This tectonic activity can cause earthquakes both on dry land and underwater. When it happens underwater, it can create a tsunami.

What does tectonic hazards mean?
tectonic hazards are where two plates rub together
What causes hurrinanes?
the plates under the earth rub together and makes the world vibrate
What happens when two tectonic plates rub together?
they form mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes.
What is it called when two tectonic plates rub together?
Arthritis. Bones are normal separated by a cushioning on their ends called cartilage, which is the substance that allows bones to glide gently over one another (such as the knee or elbow joint, and this meeting of two bones is called an "articulation"), when this cartilage is lost the bones come into contact with each other this is known as arthritis.
How does earthquake occur?
Earthquakes are caused when pressure builds up as two tectonic plates move together. As the pressure is released, an earthquake is produced.
What produces heat when 2 plates rub together?
friction
What does tectonic hazards mean?
tectonic hazards are where two plates rub together
What happens when two plates rub together side ways?
It causes earthquakes
Why do earthquakes take place near tectonic boundaries?
The plate boundaries are where two plates will either push together, rub past each other or spread apart from each other. What causes stronger earthquakes is the pusing and rubbing of these two plates. It's strength depends on the severity of the movement of the plates but generally the closer you are situated to the plates the more severe it will seem.
What is the difference between collision and conservative margins?
collision is when two plates collide conservative is when two plates rub together
How do plates move at transfform boundaries?
The rub against each other like when you rub your Hans together🙏 the form earthquakes
What causes hurrinanes?
the plates under the earth rub together and makes the world vibrate
Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
Where do earthquakes occur most often?
Earthquakes commonly occur near tectonic plates when they rub together. A common place for earthquakes in the Unites States is California.
In what areas of earth do most earthquakes take place?
when tectonic plates underneath the earth's surface rub together or move, the ground above them moves to so and earthquake takes place where two of them meet. THANK YOU
What happens when two tectonic plates rub together?

Can erosion cause an earthquake?
Error, yes, Earthquakes break up sediments and trigger floods and landslides to carry them, so don't say what you don't know about because yes they can cause erosion so go get a 'correct' on your answer.
