California has earth quakes because it is on plates under neath the earth once the plates move the ground shakes. Its kind of like Haiti. Its right were the tectonic plates move and because of convection currents and other things the earth spreads a part from eachother, like how we were in Pangaea.
No it is not. In fact these states are the ones that have the most and strongest earthquakes Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, and California. The reason that you hear about California so much is because California it is right by the fault line. So the plates collide mostly on the border of the US, which is California.

Yes. Earthquakes are a common occurrence in California, and some of the faults have been known to produce major earthquakes. It is inevitable that more major earthquakes will strike California in the future, but there is no way of knowing when or where they will be centered.

We get them all the time, but feel very few. I can count on one hand the real strong quakes we have had in the last few years.
