Yes, an earthquake is caused when tectonic plates move.

Yes. And earthquakes happen when the two plates touch each other.

Jack Hanson said...

Yes i have been in a earthquake before And they happen when the tectonic plates move beneath the surface.

Olivia Brown said...

Yes I have experienced an earth quake before.What causes it to happen is the tectonic plates moving.

Aiden S. said...

Yes and they happen when tectonic plates shift and move.

ColiBrianna J said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake! The tectonic pates moving and getting stuck on each other and the stress building up and causing the ground to shake

mckenzi A said...

Yes I have experienced an earth quake before.What causes an earthquake is when the tectonic plates moving.

Cameron F said...

I have been in a earthquake before when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates shift below the surface of the Earth.

Tessa L. said...

Yes I have been in a earthquake. The causes are things being destroyed.

anthony johnson said...

Yes and earthquakes happen when tectonic plates move and shift

Summer K. said...

Yes, I have experienced an earthquake a couple years ago. What causes an earthquake is when rock underground breaks along a fault.

Rachel P. said...

I've experienced and earthquake. Earthquakes happen when to plates crash into each other.

MacKay W said...

Yes I have experienced an Earthquake in my lifetime, and it's when the tectonic plates move beneath
the surface.

Yes I have it was a while ago and i don't remember much. When the earths tectonic plates are pushing ion to each other and one slides deeper into the earth that creates an earthquake.

Allie H. said...

When I was in third grade an earthquake happened. Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates move and shift.

Yes and they are created by 2 tectonic plates.

Contessa F. said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake before. Tectonic plates is what causes earthquakes.

I've been in an earthquake before. It wasn't a bad earthquake it just made everything vibrate. An earthquake happens when tectonic plates move and pressure builds up then an earthquake happens.

Elise R. said...

I have experience a small earthquake, and earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates being squeezed together, then breaking from the pressure.

I experienced the earthquake of 2011(I think it was 2011), it wasn't that big but big enough to make my dad's nightstand fall over and make a loud bang. Earthquakes are made because of the tectonic plates rubbing against eachother, and they crack.

TIMMY Z. said...

Yes, an Earthquake is when tectonic plates move.

Laysse reynolds said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake before. Earthquakes happen when tectonic plate move that causes earthquakes.

Yes,When a earthquake happens when two tectonic plates move and scrape together also possible making large mountains

Cadence W. said...

Yes I have been in an earthquake. They are caused by the breaking of rock

Hailey R said...

yes, i have a few years ago we though a plane had crashed in are back yard. an earthquake happens when the tectonic plates move and pressure builds up than an earthquake is appon us

Austin K said...

I have and it sound like a bomb exploding. Also the tectonic plates move and when the elastic limit breaks.

vincent said...

No
the thing that cause a earthquake is problay moving techonic plates .

KENNYB said...

no tectonic plates

Becca P. said...

Yes I have been in an earthquake before. An earthquake is caused when the tectonic plates move and pressure builds up on them and then an earthquake is formed.

Carter F. said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake before. An earthquake happens when Tectonic plates rub together then break from the pressure.

AlexisR said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake.Earthquakes are caused by the tectonic plates moving

Emma M said...

Yes i have experienced an earthquake and it happened because of planets under the earth.

I have experienced a earthquake before. What causes Earthquakes is when the tectonic plates moves.

Gavin R. said...

yes i have experienced an earthquake and i was at my friends house at the time.the bursting of rocks and beathe the earths surface.

Katherine G. said...

1. no I have not
2. when tectonic plates move underground.

Macey C. said...

Yes. When tectonic plates move.

Emma B said...

Yes, a earthquake happens when tectonic plates move and crash into each other.

Ethan R said...

yes they are caused by tectonic plates

William brackett said...

1.) Yes i have
2.) when the earths plates move it creates earthquakes

Kadie K said...

Yes I have experienced a earthquake. What happened was the plates in the earth were shifting.

Grace D said...

I have experienced an earthquake, earthquakes are caused by tectonics plates breaking.

Yes, an earthquakes happens when the tectonic plates underground move.

Zoe Schmaling said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake when I was in third grade.
Earth quakes are caused by the earths tectonic plates moving or scratching together causes the point in which they touch make the ground above it vibrate and shake.

Ariella S said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake, and it occurs when tectonic plates bend until they break.

Alexia S said...

yes I have, It happened when I lived in biddeford and my parts thought the heater blew up
Earthquakes happen when two tectonic plates move and hit each other.

Grace Q said...

Yes, erosion and weathering.

Ethan F. said...

Yes, I have experienced an earthquake before. Earthquakes happen when two faults rubbing together reach their elastic rebound limit, and snap back into place. This action of snapping back into place causes seismic waves. These waves cause the earth to shake.

Kevin O said...

when tectonic plates move

Brianna G said...

Yes, I have experienced an earthquake. An earthquake happens when two plates slowly move past each other.

kolby said...

yes i have experienced a earthquake its when tectonic plates move

Erica C. said...

Yes, I've experienced an Earthquake before. Earthquakes are formed when plates move under the Earth and faults rub together and release a energy that cause the Earth to shake.

Sam P said...

Yes, an earthquake is caused when tectonic plates move.

David R. said...

when a tectonic plate hit another tectonic plate

caden f said...

Yes I have experienced an earthquake before. What causes it to happen is the tectonic plates moving.

Gabby said...

Yes, and an earthquake happens when two tectonic plates hit each other.

Cole Mac. said...

Yes, and an earthquake is caused when tectonic plates move

Xander B said...

yes and the cause is tectonic plates moveing

Emily S. said...

Yes. Earthquakes happen when a vibration from rock breaking is produced.

Drew C said...

Yes. The plates are rubbing together

Naomi Grace Sholl said...

I have experienced an earthquake before. It is caused by the movement of tectonic plates

Cameron G said...

Yes, When tectonic plates move.

Mason R. said...

Yes and I was in 3rd grade playing wii. Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates move.

reegant said...

yes i did , earth quakes happen when plates move in the earth.

Zach R said...

Yes when the tectonic plates move rubbing against each other.
