What else can I help you with?
Were are there no earthquakes?
Although there are some earthquakes that are exceptions, most are identified by the year they occurred and where they hit (usually a prominent location) such as the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake (the San Francisco Fire) and the 1922 Vallenar Earthquake (Chile). Exception include names such as the Good Friday Earthquake (another name for the 1964 Alaskan Earthquake), and the Boxing Day Earthquake (2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami).
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places that in others?
They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
Why some states have no earthquakes?
Some states do not have earthquakes because they are not located on or near fault lines.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
earthquakes and volcano's are related in some sorts of ways, one of these ways are the damage they do.
Are earthquakes caused by tectonic plates?
It is both because earthquakes are gecologic events.
What type of countries has earthquakes?
Everywhere on the planet suffers from earthquakes at some time. However there ares some places where earthquakes, particularly bad earthquakes, are more frequent. These places are located at continental margins.
Did a earthquake ever occurred near Blacksburg?
There have been some earthquakes which did occur in Southwestern Va in the mid 19th century. The most prevalent occurred in Radford in 1897, followed by some aftershocks in the Pembroke area. These earthquakes were felt in Blacksburg. Two of the most recent ones which occurred happened in April 1975 (actually in Blacksburg), and one which was felt in Blacksburg in 2003 which occurred about 135 miles east.
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.
Where does earthquakes occur in india?
Some places in India that have had earthquakes are Anjar, Bhuj, Dhubri, and Kangra. Delhi is right on three different earthquake fault lines and the city has experienced many earthquakes.
Why do some earthquakes cause more deaths?
Because in some countries the buildings are well built (especially in countries where earthquakes are common, where buildings are designed especially to stand them) and in some places the houses are badly built.
What are The worlds most dangerous earthquakes where does it occur why does it occur when does it occur and at what places and times?
Some of the world's most dangerous earthquakes have occurred in regions like the Ring of Fire, which includes areas around the Pacific Ocean due to tectonic plate movements. Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually along fault lines. The timing and location of earthquakes are unpredictable, but regions prone to seismic activity experience them more frequently. Monitoring systems help in predicting and preparing for potential earthquakes, but exact timing cannot be forecasted accurately.
Why do you get big earthquakes happening in some areas of the world and small earthquakes happening in other parts of the world?
You won't get the answer here. Why don't you just look on the encyclopedia.
Why do tyrannies thrive in some places aaround the world?

Where in the US might you have felt the effects of this earthquake?
Earthquakes happen each and every day somewhere around the world but some places are more prone to have more earthquakes than others. If you think you felt an earthquake then you should check the USGS Earthquake Information Center website to see a map of recent earthquakes. They have a "Did You Feel It?" website to report events.

What is the highest prehistoric earthquake?
It is difficult to determine the exact magnitude of prehistoric earthquakes, but some of the most powerful earthquakes in history occurred in regions like Chile, Alaska, and Japan. These ancient earthquakes likely had magnitudes over 9.0 on the Richter scale.
Why do earthquakes occur more often in some places that in others?
They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
