There were at least 13 minor earthquakes in or near Sydney in the last 10 years. The magnitude of these 13 earthquakes ranged from 1.6 to 2.5. Earthquakes can occur in almost every part of Australia but occur much less often than along tectonic plates north and east of Australia.

Is Sydney likely to experience subduction zone earthquakes?
No. It is impossible actually. The nearest subduction zone to Sydney is over 6,000 miles away. Any earthquake that would occur in Sydney would be an intraplate earthquake.
What biome do earthquakes occur in?
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do most earthquakes occur on fault lines?
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
Do earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Where do the worlds earthquakes occur around?
Most earthquakes occur where the edges of Earth's plates are.
What regions do earthquakes mostly occur?
earthquakes usually occur at tectonic plate boundaries
What must be passed for earthquakes to occur?
seismic unit
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
