Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
An earthquake happens then a fault line is made
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
Earthquakes at divergent boundaries are caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other. As the plates separate, the stress builds up and eventually is released in the form of an earthquake. This movement can create cracks in the Earth's crust, resulting in seismic activity.
Earthquake
When two plates slide past each other in opposing directions, an interplate earthquake occurs. It occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plates.
Yes, earthquake zones often coincide with the edges of lithospheric plates because this is where tectonic plate boundaries interact. The movement and interaction of these plates can cause stress to build up and be released in the form of earthquakes.

earthquake. This motion occurs when two plates along a fault line become stuck due to friction, building up stress until they suddenly slip past each other, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves.
Shear stress.
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
They move
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
An oral or written account of previous earthquake activity and location in, near or on the meeting of tectonic or lithospheric plates may serve to predict the location of a future earthquake.
Although earthquake may occur anywhere on the earth, Japan is the country where frequency of earthquake is maximum. This happens due to the movement of tectonic plates of the earth in different directions.
An Earthquake happens.
pressure builds uo and then releases
It happens on the plates of the earth
