Britain is effected by earthquakes. However because Britain is not near a tectonic plate boundary, the earthquakes that occur tend to be low in magnitude.
Because it is not a volcanicaly active region.
it is effected by earthquakes
They are just not bad enough to be on the news like Japan, that was bad !
It is a natural disaster caused by the shifting of plates and earthquakes. It cause destruction and havoc.
Because Britain isn't near any fault lines on land or in the ocean. Fault lines are the edges of Tectonic plates, there are 7 main ones. San Andreas is over a big fault line so it gets lots of earthquakes
The largest island in the Japanese archipelago, Honshuu was most effected by the earthquake of 2011
Earthquakes are not at all common here in England. We never have big earthquakes as Great Britain in general is not in an earthquake zone.
Most parts of the world have small earthquakes every few days, small enough not to be noticed by people in general, only by instruments. Britain is fortunate that it generally has few earthquakes that cause damage, unlike places such as Pakistan and California that have had devastating earthquakes during the last 100 years or so.
Tectonic activity occurs mostly at plate boundaries. Britain lies on the Euroasian plate, a few thousand miles away from the plate boundary. Earthquakes are sometimes experienced in the centre of plates, like in Britain, due to impulses in the plates, but these earthquakes are usually measured at below four on the Richter scale, and so are mostly undetected by humans.
Britain and Germany were effected because they were at war against each other.
There are so many plates on our earth and if two of those plates spread apart, collide, of sink under one another, that causes an earthquake. Some countries are effected more by earthquakes than others.
World War 2 broke out in Europe during 1939 and effected a great deal of Britain. Aberdeen was one of the towns effected, including their primary school being hit by a bomb.
