it is because of the fault line that is called San Andreas fault
California
Actually they occur in california like 3 times a month but hardly
34-100
Southern California did not have any significant earthquakes in 1967. There was an earthquake in 1968 and 3 earthquakes in 1969 that did significant damage to southern California.
Yes they occur in California because the Pacific and the North American plates are sliding past one another.
the majority of earth quakes in the USA occur in California and in Alaska
California has a lot of fault lines, that's why.
The most earthquakes occur in Alaska, followed by California.
They mostly occur when the tectonic plates in the earths systems rub against each other and they mostly occur in California.
Earthquakes can occur in any state, but California experiences the most earthquakes due to its location along the San Andreas Fault. Other states with a higher frequency of earthquakes include Alaska, Nevada, and Oklahoma.
Earthquakes occur on the west side of the United states of America. The state of California is often hit by earthquakes. This is because there is a fault line cause by the tectonic plates on the western coast of America.
Most earthquakes occur on the ocean floor, particularly along tectonic plate boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, earthquakes can also occur on land where tectonic plates meet, such as along faults like the San Andreas Fault in California.
