Is there any place safe from earthquakes?

Answer 1

One would be safe in any circumstance where one is not in direct contact with the ground or sea, as in a flying airplane or an orbiting spacecraft. Earthquakes are more likely in some regions of the Earth than others, but they can occur anywhere. One might not directly feel the effect of an earthquake under the sea, but indirect effects like tsunamis can be very destructive. If an earthquake occurs in a particular area, one would be safe if one is at a sufficient distance, since the energy propagating from the epicenter of the earthquake will dissipate with distance.
