How did the plates move in the japan earthquake 2011?
The Japan earthquake in 2011 was caused by the movement of the Pacific Plate plunging beneath the North American Plate. This movement generated a massive undersea earthquake, resulting in the devastating tsunami and widespread destruction observed in Japan.
Do hot spots move along with the pacific plate?
yes
What is the nojima fault type?
It is a destructive plate boudary and it is where the Eurasian Plate, the Philippine sea plate and the pacific plate
What plate movement caused the 2011 Christchurch earthquake to happen?
The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 was caused by the movement along the conservative boundary between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. The plates move horizontally past each other, causing stress to build up and eventually release in the form of an earthquake.
How can something as massive as the pacific plate move?
I don't know but it is convection

How did Japan have this big earthquake 2011?
This horrible earthquake was caused by; tectonic plates, these plates were basically shoved under another plate which caused the earthquake. Some quakes move back and forth and some earthquakes; like this Japans move plates under other ones. The plates are called "The Ring of Fire" which circles around the Pacific ocean. Hawaii is smack in the middle of this ring plate. Japan's plates are 15 miles under the pacific ocean's sea floor. Please view the related source link for more explanations and photos.

Why did the Japan earthquake?
Well that is just what happens when the plats move around on the sea floor.
How did the earthquake in Haiti move?
I think the Caribbean plate and north American plate slid past each other, a transformation boundary.
