They could meet and cause an earthquake.
Edges of tectonic plates
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.
The hot spots occur around the edges of tectonic plates as they grind, move or slide past each other. One plate will be pushed down into the mantle and heats up. This creates molten rock and forces capable of forming volcanoes. Mark the sites of volcanoes and the edges of the plates can be mapped.
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.

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
