What else can I help you with?
Are earthquakes significant in Australian history?
No they are not, relatively few earthquakes have ever been recorded in Australia as it is a very stable continent with no active volcanoes and few if no earthquakes.
What place does not have earthquakes?
Antarctica is a continent that experiences very few earthquakes due to its location on a stable part of the Earth's crust.
Is Antarctica subject to earthquakes?
Antarctica is the quietest continent on earth. Antarctica is earthquake-quiet, possibly because of having so few seismographic instruments, so very few quakes are recorded. What does occur in Antarctica is ice-quakes, which are usually smaller than earthquakes.
How many Australian children get Christened?
Very few Australian children get christened as they have a very small population.
Why do many earthquakes but few volcanic eruptions occur in Himalaya?
This is because the Himalaya Mountains are a result of continent-continent collision and vulcanism in destructive boundaries results from subduction of oceanic plates. As the Indo-australian plate continues to collide with the Eurasian plate, subduction is no longer possible. The resulting stresses are relieved mostly from very large strike-slip faults. This results in much seismic activity, or earthquakes.Read more: Why_do_many_earthquakes_but_few_volcanic_eruptions_occur_in_the_himalaya
Why does London get very few Earthquakes?
Probably because it isn't very close to a fault line.
Is Ned Kelly a typical Australian?
No. Very few Australians are bushrangers.
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.
What is the highest multitude Earthquake?
Normally, when the word multitude is used in conjunction with earthquakes, it refers to the number of earthquakes, not their strength. The number of earthquakes is linked to the activity of the Earth crust. Because the activity of the Earth crust is very slow, it is very difficult to establish the highest multitude of earthquakes for a location. In a location there may not be earthquakes for thousands of years, then in a space of a few days the area could experience hundreds of earthquakes. There are locations which are very active today, which allows statistical studies. But the parameters are very dynamic. This is one of the reasons why it is not possible to predict earthquakes.
Do earthquakes last hours?
No. Most earthquakes last just a few minutes. It is rare for an earthquake to last more than a minute. The very strongest and longest-lived earthquakes may last for up to 5 minutes.
What part of the earth has the least earthquakes?
Estonia, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Andorra are a few of them. But these countries are very small in terms of their area so it doesn't make any sense telling that these countries haven't experienced any earthquake in the last 100 years. Brazil and Canada whose area is very large as compared to the above countries have experienced a few earthquakes.
What continent is known as treeless continent?
Antarctica is known as the treeless continent, as it has very few trees due to its extreme cold and dry conditions. The Antarctic landscape is mainly covered by ice and snow, with very limited plant life.
