Most parts of the world have small earthquakes every few days, small enough not to be noticed by people in general, only by instruments. Britain is fortunate that it generally has few earthquakes that cause damage, unlike places such as Pakistan and California that have had devastating earthquakes during the last 100 years or so.
because of the pthagereon thereom
Because reasons...
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.
Because New Zealand is on the edge of the plate tectonics.
Plane Earth has massive plates that make it's surface. when they move they cause disturbance on top.
Britain is effected by earthquakes. However because Britain is not near a tectonic plate boundary, the earthquakes that occur tend to be low in magnitude.
Because Britain isn't near any fault lines on land or in the ocean. Fault lines are the edges of Tectonic plates, there are 7 main ones. San Andreas is over a big fault line so it gets lots of earthquakes
Britain typically experiences around 200-300 earthquakes each year, but most are too small to be felt by people. The country does not have major tectonic plate boundaries, so earthquakes here are usually low in magnitude.
Tectonic activity occurs mostly at plate boundaries. Britain lies on the Euroasian plate, a few thousand miles away from the plate boundary. Earthquakes are sometimes experienced in the centre of plates, like in Britain, due to impulses in the plates, but these earthquakes are usually measured at below four on the Richter scale, and so are mostly undetected by humans.
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.
Global warming
because of the pthagereon thereom
why did so many people emigrate from britain in 1830-1930 ?
bcoz californiya has so many fault zones
There have been 17 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher so far in 2010.
