Cool, I live where there is supposed to be a lot of earthquakes, the last earthquake I felt was four years ago.

I can't remember the last time we had an earthquake...
It's got to have been a good 5 years ago. 

Hey DonutFace( ), so much for alternating between sigs.    JK P.S. That's your 2kth post!

Hey werdrdrdrdna, I'm changing back in the New Year. Remind me 

On topic, do tectonic plates cause earthquakes?

My weak helpless mind is not capable of understand such matters. 

Heehee, I'll go ask Wikipedia.

'The movement of tectonic plates makes earthquakes due to...' Why do I always ask my sister? 

Lol! I used to think the sea caused eathquakes. But now I know!!! My life is complete!

They do indeed - I'll try to explain from what I know.

An earthquake can occur when two plates are pushed into one another. Sometimes, one plate will go under the other, get stuck, then suddenly jolt free, causing an earthquake. Another type is when the plates both get pushed up, but I forget how the earthquake is formed there (I guess just the sudden movement?    Not sure.). The third type is when the plates are moving in opposite directions (a little like rubbing two pieces of sandpaper together), then they get stuck, jolt, and cause an earthquake.

Then there are quakes which occur on fault lines in plates... but I don't know how they work. They're the kinds of earthquakes we get in the UK, I think...

And I think the last big earthquake in the UK was in February 2008, with the epicentre somewhere-or-other in Lincolnshire. I remember seeing it on the news, and my brother and mum felt it... I slept through it 

I find earthquakes and other aspects of physical geography really interesting, personally ^^

who felt it?

I don't know. You probably live a 1000 miles away. I'm gonna guess California, God's Etch-a-Sketch.

There was an earthquake 30 miles from where I live last year. Thats it. Where I live, Tropical Depressions and flash flooding are as bad as it gets weather wise.

Sorry my generator is on too high

I pay Steve too much

You haven't? It felt like a car moving forward than stopping immediately.
