How many large earthquakes were there in 2012?
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).

What are two major hazards associated with conventional explosives?
Two major hazards associated with conventional explosives are accidental detonation, which can result from mishandling or improper storage, and the release of toxic gases and particles upon explosion, posing risks to the surrounding environment and human health.
Which of the lower 48 US states is most commonly associated with earthquakes - Washington or California?
California is most commonly associated with earthquakes in the lower 48 US states. California sits along the San Andreas Fault, a major tectonic boundary that is known for producing large earthquakes. Washington also experiences earthquakes, but they are less frequent and severe compared to California.
There are two major hazards associated with conventional explosives?
The two major hazards associated with conventional explosives are explosion and fragmentation. Explosion occurs when the explosive material is detonated, releasing a large amount of energy in a short period of time. Fragmentation refers to the flying debris and shrapnel that can cause injury or damage when an explosive device detonates.
What is the most common type of wave associated with major earthquakes?
The most common type of wave associated with major earthquakes is the seismic waves known as body waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and include P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). They are responsible for the initial shaking felt during an earthquake.
What us state not counting Alaska or Hawaii is associated with the most earthquake?
California is associated with the most earthquakes in the United States due to its location along the San Andreas Fault, a major tectonic plate boundary. These earthquakes vary in size and frequency, with some causing significant damage and loss of life.
What two major hazards associated with conventional explosives?
blast or shockwave fragmentation
What are smaller earthquakes called that immediately follow a major earthquake?
