We can't predict when an earthquake will happen, however: Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates 'slip'.

No, earthquakes are triggered when a tectonic plate shifts. An earthquake takes place in the ground. Hurricanes, on the other hand, take place in the sky. It will take an enormous hurricane to move an area by one centimeter. But, they can never cause earthquakes.
Japan it gets very strong earthquakes and may cause a tsunami
They take place between the crust and mantle. They are shallow because the tectonic plates move, and when they move past each other it is like rubbing your hands against one another with something sticky on them, eventually one just snaps and that is what creates the shallow quakes.

I don't know go ask your mummy!
I think it would probably be china or japan.
Scientists have no power to control earthquakes, nor to specifically predict them, but a logical area that the earthquakes would take place is along the plates of the earths crust. (Their shifting leads to earthquakes)

Turkey sits on top of several internal faults within the Eurasian plate. It is the rubbing of these internal faults that produces the earthquakes.
I would say Japan because it is separated into four pieces of the earths crust. in Tokyo Very small earthquakes happen every day
earthquakes that take place under water create a giant, deadly series of waves
Earth quakes tend to take place where the edges of tectonic plates meet. There is no one specific place where earth quakes happen, but California does have a lot of earthquakes. Earth quakes are caused by two plate sliding over each other, colliding into each other or pulling away from each other.
Earthquakes can happen at any time, day or night. There is no such thing as earthquake season.
