Why is it important for us to indentify areas which are prone to earthquakes?
Areas prone to earthquakes should be identified so that people can prepare for them. Most notably, bridges and public buildings should be built to withstand earthquakes.
How can a certain area suffer more damage in earthquake?
A certain area might suffer more damage in earthquakes. It is because that area might be near the epicenter.
Which areas are most unlikely to suffer an earthquake?
Earthquakes happen everywhere, but they're more frequent in some areas then others. It's quicker to explain where Earthquakes happen and let you work out where they're less likely to happen. Earthquakes are most common at tectonic plate boundaries, that is, where different plates meet. The largest events usually happen where two plates are colliding. About 90% of the world's earthquakes happen along the ring of fire. The ring of fire is roughly where the Pacific Ocean is near to or touches land. It's caused by tectonic plate movement/collisions.

Why are more people killed by earthquakes than volcanic eruption?
A number of reasons. There are far fewer major volcanic eruptions than there are earthquakes. Earthquakes have no warning. Most volcanos give warning signs before a major eruption. Earthquakes affect far larger areas, and those areas are more likely to have people living in them. Unless you are near a volcano, *and* in the path of a pyroclastic flow, a blast, or are two stupid to get out of the way of a lava flow, they are unlikely to kill you.

Does the earth's and Moon's magnetic field play a part in earthquakes?
We can't be certain, but it seems very unlikely that there is any magnetic component to earthquakes.
Are the earthquakes located in specific areas or are they scattered around the world?
they are in specific areas
Do warm areas experience more earthquakes than cold areas?

Are earthquakes located within specific areas or scattered throughout the world?
Specific areas
