What plates was involved in the japan earthquake?
thee ceramic plate, and the metal plate :)
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
When an earthquake occurs, lithospheric plates either slide past each other, collide, or move apart along their boundaries. The stress accumulated along the plate boundaries is released suddenly, causing the plates to deform and generate seismic waves that we feel as an earthquake.
What are the tectonic plates called which made the Haiti earthquake?
The tectonic plates involved in the Haiti earthquake are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by the movement along a strike-slip fault between these two plates.

What is the point where the tectonic plates move causing an earthquake?
earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates
What is plates when there is an earthquake?
Tectonic plates influence earthquakes because of convection cells that move the plates around. When the plates collide, they cause a shockwave of energy released in the form of a earthquake.
What causes a major earthquake to occur where plates meet?
The friction between the plates. When the friction is resolved, an earthquake occurs.
