A tectonic earthquake is a result when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earthâ??s crust. This phenomenon can happen anywhere in the world and could be very dangerous to the people.

What were boundaries?

Boundaries are where two tectonic plates meet.


Are plate boundaries the same as tectonic boundaries?

Yes


Are plate tectonic plate boundaries?

There are three main types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally. Each type of boundary has its own characteristic geologic features and tectonic activity.

Can tectonic plates split in half?

Tectonic plates can split apart at their boundaries, known as divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed. However, tectonic plates do not split in half as a whole; instead, they interact along their edges at various types of plate boundaries.


Earthquakes are most likely to occur near?

Earthquakes are most likely to occur near tectonic plate boundaries, where tectonic plates interact and cause stress to build up and release in the form of seismic activity. These boundaries include convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates separate, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.


Why do most earthquakes occur near tectonic plate boundaries?

Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes


Where would a volcano form?
