Question

The following passage explains the relationship between tectonic plates and earthquakes. Which sentence states incorrect information?

Tectonic plates can push together, pull apart, or slide past each other at their boundaries. The edges of tectonic plates are not smooth, so they create friction as they move. When friction is too great for the plates to move, they can become stuck and pressure can build up. An earthquake occurs when pressure that has built up between plates suddenly is released. The buildup of pressure that leads to earthquakes only occurs at plate boundaries.​
