There are 7 major tectonic plates in the world, including the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, and South American Plate.
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
When an earthquake occurs, lithospheric plates either slide past each other, collide, or move apart along their boundaries. The stress accumulated along the plate boundaries is released suddenly, causing the plates to deform and generate seismic waves that we feel as an earthquake.
The tectonic plates involved in the Haiti earthquake are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by the movement along a strike-slip fault between these two plates.
If the earthquake is strong, then it will rock the other tectonic plates around it
Cataclysm is the end of the world while and earthquake is just the tectonic plates shifting.
Science tries to explain the world. Many scientists study the movement of tectonic plates that cause earthquakes.
Assuming you are talking about the earthquake in Japan, the two plates are the Pacific and the Asian plates.

It was the Eurasian and the Philippine plates that moved and caused the earthquake in Kobe.
earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates
Tectonic plates influence earthquakes because of convection cells that move the plates around. When the plates collide, they cause a shockwave of energy released in the form of a earthquake.
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
the 2 plates that go around the world are rubbing against each other trying to go past and that makes an earthquake
about 100 or less kilometers. the Alaskan earthquake lasted about 5 minutes and had a magnitude of 9.2 in Richter scale. that was a very destructive earthquake since it is the third strongest earthquake read by the seismograph in the world and the strongest in north America.
