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.

What does tectonic hazards mean?
tectonic hazards are where two plates rub together
What is a place where two plates rub together called?
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.
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 happens when two tectonic plates rub together?
they form mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes.
Why do seismic waves originate along fault lines?
Seismic waves originate along fault lines because that is an edge of a tectonic plate. Imagine the tectonic plates as pieces of a puzzle. The fault line is the wavy side or edge in the piece and the pieces fit together. Whenever the plates move, they rub against the tectonic plates or puzzle pieces on their sides creating seismic waves.

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.

Are waves created by tectonic plates?
Yes, and, no. Yes, waves are created by tectonic plates during an earthquake (When two or more tectonic plates rub together and make huge vibrations) and even cause tsunami waves. Waves are not formed when the plates are still, though.
What type of earthquake did Haiti suffer?
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
What happens when two tectonic plates rub together?
they form mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes.
Why do earthquakes occur a lot in Kobe Japan?
Earthquakes occur in Kobé because it is built between 2 tectonic plates, that's why when there is an earthquake the ground splits in half, that crack is the gap between the tectonic plates when they rub together, this is called a conservative boundary. I hope this answer has been of much use.
Why are the edges of plates so important to the cause and location of earthquakes?
I'm afraid I only know the cause. When the edges of the tectonic plates rub together it causes vibrations, that is the earthquake.
How does the tectonic plate causes earthquake?
They rub together and send shock-waves outward from the epicenter due to friction between the two plates.
What happens when two tectonic plates rub back and forth?
an earthquake happens
Is it true that the continents close to the tectonic plates will have earthquakes?
No. Everything lies on a tectonic plate. Cities that lie near where 2 tectonic plates meet have earthquakes. Tectonic Plates expand and contract, and it is often that they expand and rub against each other. As they rub, they may overlap and cause an earthquake. Obvioulsy, a city directly above where they overlap will feel it more than a city which is in the middle of a tectonic plate.
