Friction itself is a naturally occurring force but yes, tectonic plates do encounter friction.
Friction on tectonic plates is primarily caused by the rough, uneven surfaces of the plates as they move past each other. The irregularities in the plates' texture create resistance along the boundary where they meet, leading to friction. Additionally, the presence of fluids in fault zones can also contribute to friction by affecting the slip behavior of the plates.
friction
there are 7 huge plates but dozens of smaller plates
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Most earthquakes happen at the edge of tectonic plates, where the plates are colliding or sliding past each other. These areas are known as plate boundaries, and the stress and friction from the movement of the plates can lead to earthquakes.

Absolutely! The friction and catching from tectonic plate movement causes quakes.
friction
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
Tectonic plates
No(see the explanation of the question "Why do the tectonic plates move?"
LOLOLOLOLOLOL hehehe and lol
Friction
they shout help!!Vibrate and course friction
