Plane Earth has massive plates that make it's surface. when they move they cause disturbance on top.
It lies near a fault line
There have been many earthquakes in Turkey that lasted for varied periods. Most of the earthquakes have lasted for about 30 seconds leaving so many fatalities and so much damage.
There are a lot of 2011 earthquakes in Turkey. Most of them range from Oct. 20-27.

Because reasons...
Well i would love to answer this because i am turkish myself even though i was born and live in London. So there was an earthquake in turkey on 1999 (when i was born) it killed 17000 people and it only took 37 seconds. did you know that it left half a million people homeless! i am sorry to say i havent really got to find out a lot about why there was an earthquake, i am not very good at earthquakes but all i know is that at the time, if the houses were made stronger to earthquakes then it would have been much better but now luckily the buildings and houses are mainly strong against earthquakes :) ellie

The Arabian plate is colliding with the Eurasian plate and pushing up the mountains and plateaus of Turkey and Iran. These same movements often result in earthquakes.
two one in 1999 and in 2003
Yes, at least 2.
Turkey sits on top of several internal faults within the Eurasian plate. It is the rubbing of these internal faults that produces the earthquakes.
Vancouver has so many earthquakes because it is along the ring of fire, a fault line.
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.

No because Madagascar is not in-between two continental plates so they don't have many earthquakes.
Earthquakes (big and small) happen so many times a day, it is impossible to put a number on it.
This number cannot be given correctly. Millions of earthquakes can occur daily, but they're too weak to reach the scale or be felt. Europe hasn't experienced any of the world's deadliest earthquakes since 1999 in Turkey. There have been a few medium-sized earthquakes in Europe in the past decade that have caused some damage (mainly in Turkey, Spain, Italy, and Greece), but little to no lives were lost.
