Question

12 which of the following best explains the reasoning of geologists that earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates? most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries earthquakes only occur where tectonic plates are found most earthquakes occur on top of tectonic plates when movement of tectonic plates is detected, an earthquake occurs shortly after the detected movement skip 11/47 complete

Explanation:

Geologists observe that the majority of earthquakes take place along the boundaries where tectonic plates interact. This correlation strongly supports the idea that plate - movement causes earthquakes. Earthquakes don't only occur where tectonic plates are found (as there are other geological processes), they don't mainly occur on top of plates, and there isn't always an immediate earthquake after plate - movement detection.

Answer:

Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries
