Do Seismographs Reflect the Number and Size of Rock Cracks at Tectonic Plate Boundaries?

Introduction Tectonic plates are constantly moving and shifting, often causing earthquakes and other geological events. These movements are caused by the interaction of the plates at their boundaries, where they can either move apart, slide past each other, or collide. When the plates collide or slide past each other, the rocks at the boundary can
