What four types of plate moments can cause earthquakes?

Earthquakes can be caused by four main types of plate movements: divergent, convergent, transform, and intraplate stresses. Divergent boundaries occur when tectonic plates move apart, leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes. Convergent boundaries happen when plates collide, often resulting in powerful quakes and the formation of mountains or trenches. Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other horizontally, which can produce significant seismic activity due to the friction and stress that builds up.
