The US is near tectonic plates :)
There are plate tectonics in earth and when they move, earth quakes happens. Sometimes the plate tectonics can move a continent. This is called the continental drift. Earth quakes can make volcanoes explode, tsunamis happen, and continents break. For example: The continent Pangaea. Because of the plate tectonics that caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and continents braking apart, the Pangaea broke up in to more continents and the continents broke into even more. That is why there are 7 continents in the world now. Earth quakes don't cause all these. Plate tectonics does. Plate tectonics makes earth quakes. Then, other horrible stuff happens.
earth quakes and more lol xD
8.0 quakes happen once a year on average, 9.0 very rarely, 10.0 hasn't happened yet, hopefully sometime soon, about 500x more than Haiti's quake.
because water covers 71% of the world it only makes sense that since water covers the larger majority land mass that there would be more chance for mountains there also mountains are often caused by earth quakes when two or more tectonic plates run into each other and most earth quakes and volcanic activity which can lead to earthquakes take place in the ocean.
It is possible but does not happen often. Its more likely to happen to a girl who's periods are irregular.

California next to Alaska, but California's quakes are more damaging.
partial
As you age that will happen more often. More than likely it is not intentional.
yes
yes because of gravity. dah!
