According to USGS National Earthquake Center approximately 15 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 - 7.9 occur per year around the world.
This is based on the earthquake facts and statistics collected by USGS since 1900.
earthquakes happen when two tectonic plates collide or the rub or go uneven. they can happen anytime
When two fault lines move away or collide with each other.
100 times a second
some earthquakes are not felt by man
Earthquakes happen several times a day somewhere in the world
An earthquake of magnitude 8 and higher occurs on average once per year according to USGS earthquake statistics.

Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.

The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Earthquakes occur on the west side of the United states of America. The state of California is often hit by earthquakes. This is because there is a fault line cause by the tectonic plates on the western coast of America.
In California, there are frequent earthquakes
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
Earthquakes commonly occur near tectonic plates when they rub together. A common place for earthquakes in the Unites States is California.
Japan and Indonesia have it quite often.
Yes.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at depths of 70 km with magnitudes ranging from 1-5. Deep focus earthquakes occur at depths from 300-700 km and magnitudes from 6-10.
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Yes. Not very often, though.
California has a lot of fault lines, that's why.
