Why do earthquakes not occur on every continent?
Earthquakes occur when pressure builds up between 2 masses of rock in the earths crust, where there is a crack between them. Eventually the pressure is released and one piece of the rock slides upwards. This causes P waves and S waves, which shake the buildings etc.. on the earth's surface. However, they can often be felt in other continents, depending on how bad the earthquake is. For example, the boxing day tsunami earthquake could be felt all over the world, but not as obviously as that in the country it occurred in.
