Earhtquakes do not frequently hit Wales because earthquakes only occur on plate boundaries. Wales is nowhere near a plate boundary. Two tectonic plates push into each other at a destructive or collisional boundry. The friction creates pressure that releases in the form of an earthquake.
What else can I help you with?
Does Wales have earthquakes?
not frequently
Has Mexico suffered any natural diasters?

yes
What countries are most severely and frequently affected by earthquakes?
Japan is frequently affected by earthquakes. Additionally, the United States has area affected by earthquakes.
Could Wales have earthquakes?
yes but its not likely
Where do earthquakes frequently happen?
At fault lines
When does a tsunami happen most frequently?
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
Do earthquakes occur more frequently in the interior plates?
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
Where earthquakes have hit the most?
Earthquakes occur most frequently along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which encircles the Pacific Ocean. Countries located in this region, like Japan, Indonesia, and Chile, experience a higher frequency of earthquakes. Additionally, regions along the Himalayas and the San Andreas Fault in California are also prone to frequent earthquakes.
What is seismic zoning?
A small area of a country or state where earthquakes occur frequently.
How many strong earthquakes happen every year?
Lots and lots of earthquakes are happening every day, but many of these are too small, or hit in an unpopulated area, to be counted. However. there are about 70 strong registered earthquakes a year
Earthquakes frequently occur along the edges of?
Earthquakes occur frequently along the edges of fault lines. This is caused when two plates collide into or slide past each other. This will send shockwaves around the epicenter, resulting in an earthquake.
