Why are some places badly affected by earthquakes?
Some places are heavily affected by earthquakes because they sit on or near a fault line. Christchurch, for example, sits near a fault line and is why it has frequent and strong earthquakes but practically everywhere in Australia is nowhere near a fault line so we get very littleearthquakes.
Are there places in the US where earthquakes will probably not occur in the near future explain your answer?
hi
Are earthquakes most common where two continental plates spread apart?
They are most likely to occur at transform boundaries.
Where are earthquakes a threat?
I need the top ten places where earthquakes are a threat to people for tomorrow
Why do earthquakes shake surtain places?
because the plates are in curtain places

hi
Where are earthquakes usailly located?
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
Where is an earthquakes near near?
This literally makes no sense.
What type of countries has earthquakes?
Everywhere on the planet suffers from earthquakes at some time. However there ares some places where earthquakes, particularly bad earthquakes, are more frequent. These places are located at continental margins.
Are most earthquakes located near the edges or near the center of the continents?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.
Are earthquakes most common where two continental plates spread apart?
They are most likely to occur at transform boundaries.
Why does the risk of earthquakes vary across the US?
Earthquakes tend to occur most often at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates. One such boundary runs along the coast of the Western United States all the way from the bottom of California to Alaska. So places near this boundary are at the highest risk of earthquakes. As you move further east, you move further away from this tectonic plate boundary so the risk of earthquakes goes down (although they can still happen).

Why are earthquakes more likely to happen in some parts of the world than others?
It has to do with stress in the earth's crust. There are more earthquakes where there is more stress. Most of this occurs at the boundaries between the tectonic plates as they slowly grind against each other.
Were do earthquakes mostly happen?
Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries.
