No. It is impossible actually. The nearest subduction zone to Sydney is over 6,000 miles away. Any earthquake that would occur in Sydney would be an intraplate earthquake.
Where does an earthquake occur in the US?
An earthquake can occur anywhere in the U.S., but they occur more frequently along faults and faultlines. The expectation of a major earthquake (i.e. greater than 6.0) within the U.S. is greater along a tectonic fault or major fault (i.e. like the San Andreas fault in California). In general, the west coast of the U.S. is more likely to experience a major earthquake. One extreme hypothesis is that the Pacific Ocean was created as the result of a major impact upon the Earth's mantle layer which formed the famed 'ring of fire' (sometime before life appeared). While the Pacific Plate became the healing scab for this major impact upon earth, there is a general flowing of the Pacific Plate westward,receding from the U.S. and leaving a void to be filled. In general, the east coast of the U.S. is less likely to experience a major earthquake. On the opposite side of the planet fromthe conjectured Pacific impact, a crack in the Earth extending from north to south pole formed the mid-Atlantic Ridge. Once opened, this crack providing for the spreading center from which the east coast is continually supported with new foundation. However, it also continually expands the separation between the Americas and Eurasian/African Plates, widening the Atlantic Ocean.
