Gujarat
Andaman and Nicobar islands
Lakshadweep islands
KATCH
DELHI
NCR
Since the earthquake are caused by the sliding of the plates due to a pressure built under the plate joins the plate joints are understood as the weak zones which can easily give way to earthquake thus plate joints are called the seismic zones or the fault zones the places situated above the plate joints are know as earthquake prone areas

Yes It's called platetectonics. When two plates collide it forms aearthquake.

Also you will always have earthquakes anywhere near or in close proximity of volcanoes.

Why do some earthquake with small magnitude result in more death than earthquake with lager magnitude?
There is no direct correlation between deaths and magnitude. It all depends on the earthquake's location in terms of population areas, and depth.A 6.5 magnitude quake directly under a large city, might kill 50,000, but an 8.5 magnitude quake situated slightly further away from the city might only kill 500 or so.
Why do areas far away from the epicenter sometimes experience greater damage during an earthquake than areas closer to the epicenter?

Where are thunderstorms more likely to form on land or water?
Thunderstorms are more likely to form in areas that have large water bodies like the seas and lakes. Places that experience the convectional rainfall is the place that will experience thunderstorms on a regular basis.
How is magnitude and intensity scale in earthquakes different?
Magnitude regards the size of the event of phenomena, whereas intensity refers to amounts over time. Intensity is akin to frequency. For example when measuring earthquakes, Richter scale gauges its force through magnitude, and its intensity is frequency of resonation felt.
Where has an earthquake hit already?
There are earthquakes each and every day somewhere on Earth.According to the USGS National Earthquake Center there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or 2.5 per minute or one every 24 seconds somewhere in the world. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.On average only one of those earthquakes is magnitude 8 or higher each year. Worldwide there are on average 15 earthquakes per year with a magnitude 7.0 or higher. The last major earthquake was the 9.0 magnitude quake that hit off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.For a complete list see related links below to visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program web site.
Does Chile have any earthquake prone areas?
Yes. Chile is prone to very strong earthquakes, espcially near the Pacific coast. Last year it had a magnitude 8.8 earthquake and in 1960 Chile had the strongest earthquake ever recorded: a magnitude 9.5 near Valdivia.

Where is earthquakes most likely to occur?
earthquakes are most likely to occur on the rim of tectonic plates
Does a magnitude earthquake measuring 6.0 cause any damage?
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake has the potential to cause damage, depending on various factors such as the depth, distance from populated areas, and the type of infrastructure in the affected region. Generally, it can result in moderate to significant damage to buildings and structures, particularly if they are not built to withstand seismic activity. The impacts can range from cracked walls and broken windows to partial collapses and damage to bridges and roads.
What areas of the roof are likely to experience the most heat and deterioration?
south and west
When is the earthquake in the US supposed to happen in 2012?
There are earthquakes in the US and around the world every day, but most of those are in rural areas or too small to be felt above ground.According to the USGS National Earthquake Center there were an estimated 3,836 earthquakes (magnitude 2.5+) in the United States as of 27 November 2012. On average that is ~11 per daysomewhere in the US.Once every few years there is an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or greater in the US.
What do you call the pacific coastal areas that experience frequent volcanoes and earthquakes?
Pacific Ring of Fire or Earthquake Belt... Hope I can help
Who was affected in the earthquake in Christchurch 2011?
New Zealand suffered a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on September 4th 2010
What is the seismic gap?
The theory predicting the relative size and frequancy of earthquakes in a given area, depending on the size and frequency of other earthquakes that have accured in that area. Example:- areas that have experianced many small earthquakes may not ever be likely to experience a large one, although, areas that with go long periods of time without having an earthquake are quite likely to have a large one.
What is the probability of a multistoreyed building getting destroyed in an earthquack?
There is not enough information to give a sensible answer. It will depend on many factors, some of which are:how prone to earthquakes the area is. People in areas that rarely have earthquakes are less likely to invest in or require earthquake-proof buildings.the affluence of the society: poorer countries/regions are less likely to invest in or require earthquake-proof buildings.the severity of the earthquake.There is not enough information to give a sensible answer.

Where was the 0.1 earthquake?
Without more specific information, it is not possible to determine the exact location of a 0.1 earthquake. Earthquakes of this magnitude are very minor and generally not felt by humans. They can occur in various parts of the world, including areas prone to seismic activity.
