What about water reservoirs induced earth quakes, meteorite impact earthquakes, landslide related earth quakes?

They're still scary when they happen. Even though I've lived through them all. I still freak out like a kid 😅

Greetings! Just a quick question, the video mentions that earthquakes were caused by sliding the plates with each other. But what about when the plates move apart from each other or collides with each other? Do earthquakes form that way too? I know mountains form when plates collides against each other but will earthquake form too? Thank you!

Yep! Earthquakes can happen from any movement of plates but some are stronger that others. So, like you said, transform (sliding) plates cause earthquakes bc when they go past each other, they get stuck and then when they get unstuck, pressure is released. It's the most common cause for earthquakes. Convergent (collision) plates also have earthquakes. When 2 SIAL (continental) plates collide it forms mountains and can cause earthquakes because of the movement. When SIAL and SIMA collide, the SIMA goes down because it is denser but when it is going down, the 2 plates can get stuck and the same thing happens (the stored energy is release when they get loose and causes and earthquake which can cause tsunamis. They also creat volcanoes. When 2 SIMA (oceanic) plates collide, they form a trench and cause earthquakes which can cause tsunamis When plates diverge (move away), the movement can cause earthquakes as well. sorry if it's a lot of information. I'm writing my Geography exam tmr 😅

I know you asked this question 2 months ago and weren't given a direct and clear answer on what to do, so for future reference, if you cite your references/sources, you can use information you gather from different places. It's just like when I used to have research papers, etc., when I was in school (except back then, I used encyclopedias, thesaurus, etc.) When I was in school, we didn't have WiFi - it was still connected through the phone lines - so I had to work around that. For this particular video, you would cite "explainitychannel" and the title. Good luck in your classes! (ps: You're able to use the info you find around the internet, but if you're paraphrasing in your own words, it's still a good idea to cite your sources just in case. That's how people are able to write articles on the same exact thing...just doing the research and putting it into their own words. Hope this helps!)
