yes it can! it can happen like lightning! there are 20 plates how an earthquake can occur with heat and presure. make sure yull be prepared!
No earthquakes do not only happen in flat surfaces. Earthquakes happen where ever two faults colide and the vibrations come through and cause an earthquake... (Hope this helps... this is all that i know...)
Earthquakes hardly ever happen in the middle of plates because the is no fault-line to move. The most common earthquakes in the middle of plates are because of Volcanoes.
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Earthquakes can happen on islands if the island is on the perimeter of a tectonic plate. For instance earthquakes can not happen on the island of Australia as it is on a tectonic plate however in New Zealand earthquakes happen frequently because it is on the perimeter of the tectonic plate Australia is on.
As strange as it may seem, Texas has had earthquakes. Within the last year, I have heard of two in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
This year in 2011 probably has the most earthquakes ever.
Yes, Tennessee does experience earthquakes, although they are less common compared to some other states. The central and eastern parts of Tennessee are more seismically active due to the presence of fault lines.
India has volcanoes and regularly experiences earthquakes.
Yes some Earthquakes Happen Every day. In Fact there is so many Earthquakes every day that some are not even noticeable. Earthquakes could also cause something called a TSUNAMI. A TSUNAMI is a huge wave that could damage a lot of land. Some people say that the world will end because of a Huge wave more than 1,000000 FEET TALL that is higher than the empire state in New York!
Antarctica is the quietest continent in terms of earthquakes. Earthquakes have occurred, but are infrequent. What is common on the continent are ice-quakes, which are not as 'moving' as earthquakes, but are frequent.
No they are not, relatively few earthquakes have ever been recorded in Australia as it is a very stable continent with no active volcanoes and few if no earthquakes.
Sure!
