Write a hypothesis about how the interaction of tectonic plates may cause earthquakes.

Where plates come into contact, energy is released. Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.09

hope this helps

Explanation:

Techtonic plates interacting with each other would cause an earthquake because they are essentially the earth's foundation so by sliding together they would  cause rockfall and make a rumble which is basically what an earthquake is and when they interact its basically the earth moving so it would cause shaking and rumbling which is what happens in an earthquake

(Additionally) in the aftermath of an earthquake the plates are either moving or settling down which is why frequently after an earthquake there is a mini one following it

the answer to your question is:
