Thrust faulting along or near the subduction zone plate boundary between the Pacific and North America plates. It occured due to compressional stress and convergent plate boundaries which are destructive.
It was a destructive plate boundary
I am so very sorry this didn't help me at all I couldn't understand this and i am very good at this kind of stuff.-turd190
What else can I help you with?
What is the point where the tectonic plates move causing an earthquake?

Tectonic plates colide causing the earth to shake.
Why did the eartquake in japan happen?
The same reason any earthquake happens, tectonic plates shifted against each other.
What tectonic plates caused the earthquake?
PLATES
Why did the earthquake happen in japan 2011?
The earthquake in Japan in 2011 was caused by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate along the Japan Trench. This tectonic movement resulted in a massive release of energy that led to the earthquake.
What caused the tectonic plates?
they are plates under the crust that move when are shifted
What is tectonic earthquake means?
A tectonic earthquake is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates. These earthquakes occur at plate boundaries where plates are colliding, sliding past one another, or moving apart. The stress built up from the movement of plates is released in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
What was the cause of the tsunami in Japan?
The cause of the tsunami was an earthquake that scored 8.9 on the rictor scale was that of the tectonic plates shifted under Japan, and caused the tragedy.
What is an earthquake and what causes earthquakes?
An earthquake is when the tectonic plates under the earth move in different directions causing the earth to shake. Everybody*"GROW WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED"
What is fault of earthquake?
Tectonic plates
How do you put tectonic plates in a sentence?
When I first saw you, I was certain that the tectonic plates had just shifted. The Earth's lithosphere is made up of seven or eight major, and many minor tectonic plates.
What is a earthquake a result of?
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
