Tectonic plates make earthquakes when they move against each other. These plates are huge sections of the Earth’s crust that constantly shift, but sometimes they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress from the movement builds up enough to overcome the friction, the plates suddenly slip. This sudden release of energy causes the ground to shake—what we feel as an earthquake. Most earthquakes happen along plate boundaries where these interactions are most intense. #reels #explore

Steller Sphere on Instagram: "Tectonic plates cause tsunamis primarily through underwater earthquakes at subduction zones, where one plate dives beneath another. These collisions cause the seafloor to suddenly shift upward or downward, displacing massive volumes of water, which generates fast-moving, high-energy waves that travel across the ocean and swell into devastating surges upon reaching shallow coastal waters. Key aspects of how tectonic plates generate tsunamis include: • Subduction Zone
