There are two types of plates, oceanic and continental. An example of an oceanic plate is the Pacific Plate, which extends from the East Pacific Rise to the deep-sea trenches bordering the western part of the Pacific basin.
Pacific and North American plates are grinding against one another along the Western side of the United States and near Japan. The Filipino and Eurasian plates also meet near Japan. Thus Japan has a lot of seismic activity due to the proximity of four plates. The Australian-Indian plate is pushing up against the Eurasian plate which means the Himalaya mountain range is growing and grinding against the Pacific plate causing seismic activity in New Zealand which is across both plates.
