How are earthquakes related to the Earth’s moving plate tectonics? A

The boundaries between the plates grind against each other, producing most earthquakes.

B

Earthquakes occur in the lithosphere, because this is where moving plate tectonics are located.

C

The ocean ridges are the asthenosphere spreading centers, creating new oceanic crust and earthquakes.

D

The movement of the plate tectonics and magma pushing up through the cracks in the plates cause earthquakes.
