Why is it important to keep track of earthquakes that cannot be felt by humans but show up on the Richter Scale?

This is because once the Richter scale detects something, it can be used to help predict the future onto upcoming underground activity. Having the Richer Scale to detect activity just for humans isn't the only reason why scientists still use it today.

Why are there no earthquakes or volcanic eruptions in Britain?
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.
