Why do earthquakes occur in the Philippines?
The Philippines is located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for frequent seismic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates. The country sits on the boundary of several major tectonic plates, leading to the occurrence of earthquakes as these plates shift and grind against each other.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What is the boundary when two plates slide against each other?
The boundary where two plates slide against each other is called a transform plate boundary. At this boundary, the plates are sliding past each other horizontally. Transform boundaries are characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the intense friction between the plates.
What can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
What is a contiental boundary?
when the plates get against each other
How are tectonic plates related to the occurrence of earthquakes on a global map?
Tectonic plates are large pieces of the Earth's crust that float on the semi-fluid mantle below. When these plates move against each other, they can cause earthquakes. The boundaries where plates meet, such as at fault lines, are where most earthquakes occur. This relationship between tectonic plates and earthquakes is why seismic activity is often concentrated along plate boundaries on a global map.
What are the three main plate boundries?
Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.

Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
Do faults cause earthquakes?
no. the plates pushing against each other do.

Why do you think the plates began to slip against each other laterally 30 million years ago?

What happens with the earths surface to make an earthquake occur?
Many events could cause and earthquake but most common is when two or more tectonic plates rub against each other. Essentially the surface of the Earth (this includes underwater) is separated by large masses of earth called plates. These plates move and often rub against each other which causes earth quakes. The areas where plates meet are called faults. Volcanic eruptions could also cause earthquakes.
