What else can I help you with?
Is an area that has already experienced past earthquakes more or less likely to experienced future earthquake than a area that has never had a earthquake?
yes as they are usually on the edge of tectonic plates which is the reason that the earthquake happened
Will Japan have another earthquake?
most likely, yes Well - another earthquake can certainly happen - but - being linguistically precise and picky, another earthquake can't happen AGAIN because it has not happened yet. Not sure if this was the questioner's intent, but an interesting riddle none the less.
Why is a person who is standing outside in an open field relatively safe during a strong earthquake?
The majority of risk to humans in an earthquake is due to the collapse of structures or due to falling debris or glass again from their partial collapse. Being in an open space means that you are significantly less likely to be injured or killed by these hazards.
Why all earthquakes are not damaging?
Earthquakes vary greatly in intensity. Many are not strong enough to cause any notable damage. Additionally, in some earthquake-prone areas the buildings are built to withstand earthquakes, and so are less likely to be damaged.
How long did the 1989 San Francisco earthquake last - was it more than one hour?

Why is there less of a chance for there to be a big earthquake in the middle of north America like Chicago Illinois?

Why is Idaho most likely to have an earthquake?

Is an earthquake less likely to occur when it rains?
No, the weather has no influence on the Earth's crust.
What is the probability of a multistoreyed building getting destroyed in an earthquack?
There is not enough information to give a sensible answer. It will depend on many factors, some of which are:how prone to earthquakes the area is. People in areas that rarely have earthquakes are less likely to invest in or require earthquake-proof buildings.the affluence of the society: poorer countries/regions are less likely to invest in or require earthquake-proof buildings.the severity of the earthquake.There is not enough information to give a sensible answer.

Real estate in Chicago Illinois varies from the areas. There are rural areas of Chicago that may be a little less expensive than living directly in the city. It all depends on the location you are looking to purchase in.

Are there a lot of coyotes in Illinois and what part has the most?
Yes there are a lot of coyotes in Illinois. I would say you can find them in almost any part of Illinois that is considered rural. They even show up in the burbs of Chicago but the large portion of coyotes remain in the areas less populated by man. That being said the central and southern parts of the state are less populated by humans and you will find a healthy population of coyotes in these regions of the state.
Will an earthquake get bigger if it is deeper?
No. Size does not necessarily affect the magnitude of an earthquake. In fact, a deep earthquake will have less of an effect on the surface than a shallow earthquake of the same magnitude.
Is average household income for Mississippi greater or less than Illinois?
I think it is less than! Illinois is bigger than Mississippi.
Why do the people have to stay you there house during an earthquake?
Type your answer here... That way you don't fall in a crack of have something fall on you in the open. If your in a house and under something, your less likely to get hurt.
Which is least likely to cause deaths during an earthquake?
Earthquakes themselves are the direct cause of most earthquake-related deaths, but buildings collapsing due to the shaking can also be deadly. Other factors like landslides or tsunamis triggered by the earthquake can also result in fatalities, but are generally less common.
