What are Tectonic PlatesThis is an image of the earth's different layers.●Inner core

●Outer core

●Lower mantle

●Transition region

●Shallow mantle*

●Crust and Lithosphere

*The shallow mantle is divided into parts these parts are the tectonic plates

How Earthquakes Occur

Australian Pacific

● Two plates such as the Pacific and Australian pushing towards each other create tension causing one of the plates to crack.

● Earthquakes happen in these faults because it is weaker at that point so it releases the tension there. The result, earthquakes.
