No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.


Where on earth has had the most earthquakes?

The majority of earthquakes occur on or near fault lines - the boundaries between tectonic plates. To actually see where earthquakes occur, try finding a historical seismicity map.

Tsunamis mostly occur in the Pacific Ocean because they are made because of Earthquakes and lots of earthquakes happen in the ring of fire.


Where is the majority of the earthquakes in the US?

The US Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center records statistics for earthquakes in the US and worldwide. Between 2000 and 2011 the average number of earthquakes in the US was 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher.The majority of those earthquakes in the US are in Alaska and California with Hawaii in third place.http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/states/top_states.php

Where do the majority of earthquakes in the US occur?

California. California has many cracks in the state and also its rocks shift many times often causing earthquakes.(One primary cause of earthquakes in sudden shifting in subduction zones, which are areas where the tectonic plates push against each other.)

Why are volcanoes and earthquakes found together?

The majority of earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates. Therefore, an area that has volcanoes is likely to be prone to earthquake as well.

Do thousands of earthquakes occur each year?

The US Geological Survey estimate that there are several million earthquakes each year, but the vast majority of these will not be detected because they are too small in magnitude to detect or are larger, but occur to far away from a seismometer station. From this number, they estimate that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of these will be felt by humans and 100 of them will be large enough to cause damage.


When was Haiti's smallest earthquake?

That is impossible to tell. Smaller earthquakes occur more frequently, to the extent that the majority of earthquakes are too small to event be felt. Without a sophisticated seismic network, many earthquakes will not even be detected.
