GCSE Geography exam tomorrow.

I need the simple tectonic reasons for the following earthquakes happening...either will do...

Case Study 1 :

Gujarat, India - earthquake in January 2001 - affected city of Bhauchau and measured 7.9 Richters...But what plate movements caused it??

Case Study 2:

Sichuan, China- 12th May 2008

7.9 richters.. again what plate movements caused it?

If you could just specify the names of the plates and their movement ... thanks
