Earthquakes are not seasonal! As such they could happen at any time of the year.

Some good questions about earthquakes are:What is an earthquake?How long do earthquakes last?Is there an 'earthquake season' or 'earthquake weather'?Where is the safest place to be in an earthquake?Will the ground open up during an earthquake?What is a seismometer, seismograph, and a seismogram?When was the seismograph invented?What is the Richter Scale?Do many small earthquakes prevent larger earthquakes?Can we predict earthquakes?What is liquefaction?


How often should you change the contents of your earthquake kits at school?

The contents of any emergency kit should be routinely inspected, depending on the anticipated necessity and/or the current disaster "season." Depending on where you are, it should be inspected and replenished every 6-15 months, if not more frequently.


When is the official karting season?

There is no official 'karting season'. However you will generally see many national and international championships running between the months of March - November. The 2009 draft calendar has been released for all the major UK and International championships, you can view this at http://www.abkc.org.uk/cal2009.html. There is no official 'karting season'.

Do earthquakes usually occur in summer?

Regional it can be argued that indeed there are earthquake seasons. Earthquakes are more often than not related to tectonic activity (subduction, rifting, shearing along transform faults, etc.); however, not all earthquakes are related to such activity. Crustal loading through increased sedimentation can increase the overriding pressure, and once this is removed through weathering processes, this can release pressure causing earthquakes (for example those within stable continental shields). There is certainly an earthquake season in the Himalayan front and has been investigated by geologists at Caltech. "In the Himalaya, monsoon rains swell the rivers of the Ganges basin, increasing the pressure bearing down on the region. As the rains stop, the river water soaks through the ground and the built-up load eases outward, toward the front of the range. This outward redistribution of stress after the rains end leads to horizontal compression in the mountain range later in the year, triggering the wintertime earthquakes."
