Antarctica and Australia are generally considered less prone to significant earthquake activity compared to other continents. Antarctica is largely stable due to its position on the Antarctic Plate, while Australia sits on the relatively stable Australian Plate, experiencing fewer major earthquakes. However, it's important to note that no continent is completely free from earthquakes, and minor seismic activity can still occur in these regions.

Which continent or continents seem to be totally safe from earthquakes?
Antartica most likely
On the West Coast of United States is most likely to get earthquakes?
Yes, the west coast of the United States is the most likely to get earthquakes.
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia

Are volcanoes and earthquakes more likely in North Carolina?
More likely than where? please make your questions unambiguous. In general the east side of the US is less likely to have earthquakes and volcanoes as compared to the west side.
Which continent or continents seem to be totally safe from earthquakes?

When are earthquakes most likely to happen?
When the tectonic plates move underneath the continents.

Do earthquakes occur in the edges of the continents?
yes it comes on the coast
What is cause by continents colliding?
Earthquakes, follwed by tidal waves.
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.
Why land is divided into seven continents?
Because of all the earthquakes that have occurred. The seven continents used to be one but over the many years there has been a lot of erosion and earthquakes. The continents are still moving so in a very long time there will be more than seven continents most likely.
Which continents are stable to experience earthquakes?
The continent that has the most earthquakes is Asia, because it is near the Ring of Fire.
Are most earthquakes located near the edges or near the center of the continents?
Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.
Why don't earthquakes occur along the continents?
I Don't really know.... BUT Earthquakes happen when idiots poop in the ground.... TRUE STORY!
Fault boundaries are especally likely to cause earthquakes?
Transform boundaries are particularly likely to cause earthquakes.
