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.
What else can I help you with?
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 earthquakes occur as earth's plates collide?
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
What type of earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes?
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Where on earth do earthquakes occur?
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Do most earthquakes occur around earthquake valley?
Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.
Do Earthquakes occur only once or twice a year?
The frequency of earthquakes depends on the location. in Japan, earthquakes occur 3 times a month, and in the Sahara in Africa they occur once in five years..
Are there oceans near where earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes could occur anywhere--on land or in sea. If they occur in the ocean, then they could trigger a tsunami warning.
