The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.
HI is most noticeable during the summer and winter. The main cause of the urban heat island effect is from the modification of land surfaces. Waste heat generated by energy usage is a secondary contributor. As a population center grows, it tends to expand its area and increase its average temperature.
At the divergent plate boundaries new oceanic lithosphere is formed in the gaps of magma coming up from the mantle. The magma coming up forms mid-ocean ridges. They form along mountain chains that are marked as boundaries between diverging plates.
