Is California the only state in the US that experiences frequent or strong earthquakes?
No it is not. In fact these states are the ones that have the most and strongest earthquakes Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, and California. The reason that you hear about California so much is because California it is right by the fault line. So the plates collide mostly on the border of the US, which is California.

A place that has man earthquakes?
Japan it gets very strong earthquakes and may cause a tsunami
Where is the most liable place for earthquakes?
The most liable place for an earthquake is on a major fault line. Japan suffers strong earthquakes yearly. They suffer about 1500 a year.
States that sections of active faults that have had few earthquakes are likely to sites of strong earthquakes?
gap hypothesis
What area along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently but where strong earthquakes have happened before?
seismic gap
How does earthquakes affect people?
It depends on how strong the earthquake is. They can be very dangerous of we might not even notice them.
Is there going to be a strong earthquake that can kill people in California in 2012?
There is no way of knowing. Earthquakes cannot be predicted.
How many earthquakes happen every year in Haiti?
On average, Haiti experiences around 200 small earthquakes each year. However, these are generally minor tremors and not typically strong enough to cause significant damage.
Why are some places badly affected by earthquakes?
Some places are heavily affected by earthquakes because they sit on or near a fault line. Christchurch, for example, sits near a fault line and is why it has frequent and strong earthquakes but practically everywhere in Australia is nowhere near a fault line so we get very littleearthquakes.
What last disaster happened in Japan?
As of September 2021, the last major disaster in Japan was Typhoon Mindulle in August 2021, which caused strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding in several regions of the country. However, Japan experiences frequent natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis.
What is California most common hazard?
California's most common hazard is wildfires, driven by its hot, dry climate and frequent drought conditions. These fires can spread rapidly due to strong winds and are exacerbated by vegetation growth during wetter years. Other significant hazards include earthquakes, landslides, and flooding, but wildfires pose the most frequent and widespread risk to residents and natural landscapes. The increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires in recent years highlight the ongoing challenges posed by climate change.
Do earthquakes often happen to Haiti?
They have happened twice in the past weeks One of them was on January 12th, 2010, and the other was an aftershock a couple days after. it was so strong, that they decided to call it an aftershock.

We get them all the time, but feel very few. I can count on one hand the real strong quakes we have had in the last few years.
Does Malta get a lot of earthquakes?
Malta experiences very few earthquakes, and when they do occur, they are usually of low magnitude and rarely cause significant damage. The country is not located near any major tectonic plate boundaries, which decreases the likelihood of strong seismic activity.
Sections of active faults that have had few earthquakes are likely to be sites of strong earthquakes?
focus
Why do strong earthquakes occur where there have been many recent earthquakes?
I can't really say in detail .....but it is most likely that its because there is a default in that area ....like in California ..there are several defaults there and thousands of earthquakes occur each day there. BECAUSE its a active earthquake zone." :D Earthquakes also occur in Alaska and also; off the coast of Mexico....
