What causes mechanical weathering to take place the fastest?
It depends on the location. Dry warm areas will experience more wind erosion than a wet tropical area. Seasonal cold/warm areas will experience more frost weathering than the first two areas mentioned. Wet tropical areas will experience more erosion from plant growth than other areas.
Countries that are found in volcanic areas are more to earthquakes?
Prone
Why do some areas of the world have more earthquakes than others?
they have more earthquakes in other people depending on the faults and plates around the world.
Why are earthquakes more likely to happen in some parts of the world than others?
It has to do with stress in the earth's crust. There are more earthquakes where there is more stress. Most of this occurs at the boundaries between the tectonic plates as they slowly grind against each other.
Do some areas of the world have more earthquakes than others?
Yes, they do. This is because in the locality of a tectonic boundary or fault (though less on a Constructive margin), friction and build up of tension cause sudden shock-waves to be released as an earthquake. Therefore, those living near a fault or plate margin are more likely to experience earthquakes than those who live farther from them.

What location in a city is more likely to experience earthquakes?
The locations that are closest to the fault lines.
ARE Earthquakes more frequent and stronger in areas with currently active plate boundaries?
Of course they are!
Why do Australia's neighbors experience more high magnitude earthquakes than Australia?
Australia is in the middle of a tectonic plate, and earthquakes happen at the edges of these plates.
Why do earthquakes impact economically strained areas on earth more?
earthquakes are always happening. The devistation is because the structures are not built well, hence the disaster.
What areas of the world have the most earthquakes?
Indonesia is in a very active seismic zone, also, but by virtue of its larger size than Japan, it has more total earthquakes.
Why earthquakes cause more damage than others?
The biggest earthquakes do not always cause the most damage if they strike unpopulated areas, or areas where the local infrastructure was built to withstand severe earthquakes. Also some big earthquakes may be high in intensity, but very short in duration, causing less damage.
How are earthquakes distributed on maps?
Earthquakes usually occur at plate boundaries, e.g. Pacific Ring of Fire, where the plate collide into each other and create shockwaves that rock Earth's surface.See related question for more details.
