How earthquacks happened?
The tectonic plates that create earth surface move and sometimes hit each other, if they hit just a little bit, an earthquake results. California is an example, two tectonic plates match up there, and that is why there are always earthquakes. Some even say it will drift away from the usa because of the constant tectonic plate movement
What happens when plates meet?
When plates meet, it can result in three main types of interactions: convergent boundaries (coming together), divergent boundaries (moving apart), or transform boundaries (sliding past each other). At convergent boundaries, where plates collide, one plate may be forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, or they may crumple and form mountain ranges. At divergent boundaries, where plates move apart, new crust is created as magma rises up to fill the gap. At transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other, they can cause earthquakes along faults.
A kind of force that gets exerted as techtonic plates push against each other?
The force you are referring to is called compressional force. This force occurs when tectonic plates collide or push against each other, leading to the formation of mountain ranges and deep-sea trenches.
Why are earthquakes less likely to happen at the center of earth's plates?
they are less likely to happen at the center of Earth's plates because the plates collide in the front or in the back and unless a plate is the middl3e and another is moving to its center it well most likey not hit its center.
Are small earthquakes indicators of bigger earthquakes to come?
Sometimes. In convergent/destructive plate boundaries, before larger earthquakes occur, the movements of the plates will result in smaller earthquakes. When the plates finally collide into each other, shockwaves will radiate out from the epicenter and cause the larger earthquake. In transform plate boundaries, the two plates rub against each other and the shockwaves causes the plates to move. Basicly the earth is made in layers, and the layers below us are made of constantly moveing plates. When two plates hit each other this will cause an earthquake. Wheather their are earthquakes after this depend on many variables, so you'd probably want to go to a professional web sight, if their a part their explaination you don't undrestand someone on wiki answers could probably help.
Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
What would two continental plates produce?
it depends on how they hit each other
What are the Processes of how an earthquake is made?
A eartquake is made when 2 plates hit each other
How does tectonic plate movement affect the environment?
It causes earthquakes when the plates hit each other.
Where does earthquakes strike the most?
They strike the most where tectonic plates are found and when the hit each other
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
WHY did the Kobe quake happen?
The Tectonic Plates Shook And Hit each other Forming Seismic Waves.........Mkay
When plates slide across each other do they only form earthquakes?
Yes because when they hit it causes the ground to shake.
Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a near miss Shouldn't it be called a near hit?
No.
Why is Japan often hit by earthquakes?
Japan is hit because its it right next to two Tectonic Plates that constantly rub up against each other.

What a earthqake?
When two plates of the Earth are about to join they both hit each other and and cannot move this causes the Earthquakes because the can't go over or under each other. so earth cracks
