Best Answer

Yes. All countries do.

Some countries that are close to fault-lines have major ones.

Other countries far away from faultlines have minor ones.

"Experts" claim that Jamaica is just waiting for a major earthquake now.

There is however no way of making a timewise correct estimate for this.
