They could meet and cause an earthquake.
Edges of tectonic plates
The edges where tectonic plates meet are called "plate boundaries." There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, where plates move apart; convergent, where plates collide; and transform, where plates slide past each other. Each type of boundary is associated with different geological activities, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
because they form from earthquakes
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.
Tectonic plates are found all over the Earth's surface, but they are most prominent along the boundaries of continents and oceans. These boundaries form the edges of the plates where they interact, leading to geological events like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Tectonic plates and fault lines created by the movement of tectonic plates.

Edges of tectonic plates
Around the edges of tectonic plates.
Australia is in the middle of a tectonic plate, and earthquakes happen at the edges of these plates.
because they form from earthquakes
Earthquakes are mostly found at the edges of plates because that is the area of which the plates collide in different ways resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
I'm afraid I only know the cause. When the edges of the tectonic plates rub together it causes vibrations, that is the earthquake.
the theory of plate tectonics is that subduction occures on the edges of the tectonic plates creating a movement. When the tectonic plates push or pull apart with enough pressure an earthquake starts. That is why California has major earth quakes. The pacific plate is grinding California in a horizontal movement. Once the pressure is released a tsunami could happen.
they shout help!!Vibrate and course friction
ground shaking, displacement, liquefaction, tsunamis and landslides
