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.
It happened in the eastern part of sichuan, china. it happened at 30 degrees north, 105 degrees east.
We can't predict when an earthquake will happen, however: Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates 'slip'.
during an earthquake the plates under us release which forms an earthquake which brings great damage. buildings might fall, fire, e.t.c. some earthquakes are really weak to even notice them. :)
