The list of earthquakes by year (1990-Present) or by country can be found at the USGS Earthquake Hazards website.
In 2010 there was one earthquake magnitude 8 or greater, which was in Chile (M 8.8).
The USGS provides a list of significant earthquakes for 2010 as well as a worldwide map of earthquakes for 2010 and previous years.
See link below.
From 1680 to Jan. 12-11, there have been 65 earthquakes. Sorry, couldn't find any for the rest of 2011 or 2012.
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.

The theory predicting the relative size and frequancy of earthquakes in a given area, depending on the size and frequency of other earthquakes that have accured in that area. Example:- areas that have experianced many small earthquakes may not ever be likely to experience a large one, although, areas that with go long periods of time without having an earthquake are quite likely to have a large one.
Yes. Greece had and has many earthquakes often.
Scientists are able to predict large earthquakes to a certain extent. With the use of certain statistical methods, many earthquakes are able to be predicted.
In 2012, there were approximately 14,000 earthquakes recorded globally, with varying magnitudes. The frequency and intensity of earthquakes vary each year based on geological factors.
It is impossible to tell. 2010 was a year of numerous large earthquakes around the globe. However, many smaller earthquakes occurred and many more that were too weak to be measured. It is estimated that millions of earthquakes occur each year.
I think God is just trying to freak us out about 2012.
From 1680 to Jan. 12-11, there have been 65 earthquakes. Sorry, couldn't find any for the rest of 2011 or 2012.

Large earthquakes - scientists predict they should happen every 80 years.
Construction of large artificial lakes can induce localized earthquakes.
It relates to earthquakes or other tremors in the earth, such as those caused by large explosions
The list of earthquakes by year (1990-Present) or by country can be found at the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program website.The USGS provides a list of significant earthquakes for 2002 as well as a worldwide map of earthquakes for that year and previous years. Lists for historical earthquakes from earlier years are also available.
Earthquakes can trigger landslides, which are large downhill movements of earth and rock.
