- At the “seams” where tectonic plates come in contact, the crustal rocks may grind violently against each other, causing earthquakes and volcano eruptions. The relatively fast movement of the tectonic plates under California explains the frequent earthquakes that occur there.

★ What happens due to movements on the Earth's crust?
★ Earthquakes occur when two sections of rock within the Earth's crust move against each other. The forces propelling these plates are convection currents that rise from the Earth's hot, molten core, through the plastic mantle and towards the lithosphere where they cool and fall back to the core.
