Why has Britain had so many earthquakes?
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.

What island continent is not within a major volcano or earthquake area?
I suppose this could be Australia, but it is near New Guinea which has had several earthquakes in the past few decades. Another option is Greenland or Antarctica (yes I'm aware that Greenland isn't a continent). Antarctica has a volcano or two but no earthquakes. While Greenland has no earthquakes and (as far as I know) no volcanoes.

In North America all the major deserts have volcanoes. All are classified as extinct or dormant, however.

There are also a number of subterranean magma chambers in the region that are still very much alive and occasionally cause minor earthquakes and could pose a possible threat for a future eruption..
