First I have to tell you that earthquakes happen all the time. It's just about how big they are.
The first earthquakes reported felt in Georgia were the great New Madrid series of 1811 - 1812. These shocks were felt over almost all of the eastern United States. In Georgia that series of shocks reportedly shook some bricks from chimneys.
The great Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake of 1886 caused severe shaking experienced in Georgia. On August 31 at 9:25 p.m., preceded by a low rumble, the shock waves reached Savannah. People had difficulty remaining standing. One woman died of fright as the shaking cracked walls, felled chimneys, and broke windows. Panic at a revival service left two injured and two more were injured in leaping from upper story windows. Several more were injured by falling bricks. Ten buildings in Savannah were damaged beyond repair and at least 240 chimneys damaged. People spent the night outside.
At Tybee Island light station the 134 foot lighthouse was cracked near the middle where the walls were six feet thick, and the one-ton lens moved an inch and a half to the northeast.
In Augusta the shaking was the most severe (VIII on the Modified Mercalli scale) in the State. An estimated 1000 chimneys and many buildings were damaged. The business and social life was paralyzed for two days. Brunswick and Darien were alarmed.
An earthquake on June 17, 1872, at Milledgeville, and had an intensity of at least V on the Modified Mercalli scale, the lowest intensity in which some damage may occur. It was reported as a sharp shock, jarring brick buildings and rattling windows.
On November 1, 1875, at 9:55 in the evening, an intensity VI earthquake occurred near the South Carolina border. It was felt from Sparatansburg and Columbia, South Carolina, to Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, from Gainesville to Augusta, and generally over an area of 25,00 square miles.
A more local event occurred on October 18, 1902, with a sharp shock felt along the east face of Rocky Face Mountain west of Dalton with intensity VI and at La Fayette with intensity V. The felt area was about 1500 square miles, and included Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The Savannah area was shaken with an intensity VI earthquake on January 23, 1903. Centering near Tybee Island, it was felt over an area of 10,000 square miles including Savannah (intensity VI), Augusta (intensity III), Charleston (intensity IV-V), and Columbia (intensity III-IV). Houses were strongly shaken. Another shock was felt on June 20, 1912, at Savannah with intensity V.
On March 5, 1916, an earthquake centered 30 miles southeast of Atlanta was felt over an area of 50,00 square miles, as far as Cherokee County, North Carolina, by several people in Raleigh, and in parts of Alabama and Tennessee.
An earthquake of intensity V or over occurred on March 12, 1964, near Haddock, less than 20 miles northeast of Macon. Intensity V was recorded at Haddock while shaking was felt in four counties over a 400-square-mile area.
The strongest earthquake in the past six months occurred in Chile. It was a magnitude 8.2 and resulted in six deaths.
YES
I do not agree that Brazil has earthquakes.
It is impossible to determine how many earthquakes there have been in the past century. Earthquakes occur frequently all over the earth, including deep under the ground. Many of these may not be felt by people and barely register on seismic equipment, but they are still earthquakes.
There are earthquakes all the time, and there have been earthquake since the Earth was created.
I can't really say in detail .....but it is most likely that its because there is a default in that area ....like in California ..there are several defaults there and thousands of earthquakes occur each day there. BECAUSE its a active earthquake zone." :D Earthquakes also occur in Alaska and also; off the coast of Mexico....
in a place
their has been 6 earthquakes
364,0000000

If you have ever felt an earthquake you will know they exist. Billions of people have felt earthquakes and many millions of people have been killed by earthquakes. Buildings collapse in many earthquakes. Earthquakes leave plenty of evidence and witnesses behind them that they happened.
there are millions of earthqukes that have past
All of them.
A ga-zillion.
There are Earthquakes happening constantly. Some small enough that we don't feel.
two one in 1999 and in 2003
There have been many earthquakes in Armenia.
There have been only 2 "significant" earthquakes in San Diego since 1800. 1800 - 6.5 earthquake in San Diego 1986 - 5.3 earthquake in Oceanside There have been smaller earthquakes. In addition, residents of San Diego have been able to feel other earthquakes that were centered elsewhere.
Yes, there have been and will be earthquakes in Pennsylvania.
