Because fat people live near fault lines and them waddling around causes the plates to shift
What else can I help you with?
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places that in others?
They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
Do most earthquakes occur in populated area?
it has nothing to do with population, but they happen very often in highly populated places such as Japan and San Fransico
Earthquakes occur most often along the?
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Do earthquakes often occur at at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
When do earthquakes occur the most?
Japan and Indonesia have it quite often.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
What do earthquakes often occur along?
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Where do the weakest earthquakes occur on?
The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.
Do any landforms occur near earthquakes?
Yes. Not very often, though.
How often and why do earthquakes occur in Califoria?
California has a lot of fault lines, that's why.
How often do moderate earthquakes 5.0-5.9 occur on earth?
several thousand
Why do some places have earthquakes and others do not?
Earthquakes occur primarily in regions where tectonic plates interact, particularly along their boundaries. Areas near plate boundaries experience stress and strain due to the movement of these plates, leading to seismic activity. In contrast, regions situated away from these boundaries, often called intraplate areas, are typically more stable and less prone to earthquakes. Therefore, the distribution of earthquakes is closely tied to the geological activity and dynamics of the Earth's crust.
