Which state in the US is the most earthquake prone?
Alaska is the most earthquake prone state averaging about 12,000 earthquakes each year. Alaska has so many earthquakes because the Pacific Plate is sinking under the North American Plate, where Alaska is located. California is the second most earthquake prone state averaging about 10,000 earthquakes each year. California has so many earthquakes because of the San Andreas Fault, the North American Plate rubbing against the Pacific Plate. *each earthquake is not always felt or noticeable*
