England is not that prone to earthquakes. However, there have also been some earthquakes that have caused damage but not as much damage compared to other parts of the world. The largest earthquake that hit the country was in 1931 with a magnitude of 6.1.
It depends which London you are talking about. London, England, is not experiencing any earthquakes, as England cannot actually have earthquakes.
New England experiences more earthquakes compared to the Great Plains, as it lies in a region with more active geological features such as faults. The Great Plains, on the other hand, is a relatively stable tectonic region with fewer earthquake occurrences.
The first recording of earthquakes dates back to the late 19th century. The first seismograph was developed in 1880 by John Milne in England, which enabled the accurate measurement of seismic activity.
The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
An earthquake occurred off the west coast of Ireland today (6th June 2012). It was a magnitude 4 earthquake. Lots of very small earthquakes occur around Ireland, but it is not in a dangerous zone.
no
Although England is not a hot spot for earthquakes, there could possibly be the occurrence of one there.
Earthquakes are not at all common here in England. We never have big earthquakes as Great Britain in general is not in an earthquake zone.
England is not on or near a fault line.
Big Ben is in London, England which doesn't have a problem with earthquakes.
England has roughly 200 earthquakes a year but they are so small no one feels them. Annually 20 or 30 of those are actually felt.
It depends which London you are talking about. London, England, is not experiencing any earthquakes, as England cannot actually have earthquakes.
Currently, there is no reliable means for predicting earthquakes, anywhere.
England can and does experience earthquakes. However these tend to be of relatively low magnitude as the UK is located a long way from a tectonic plate boundary. For more information on seismic activity in the UK, please see the related link.
There are earthquakes everyday, but almost none of them are felt. So yes, but it won't be severe.
New England experiences more earthquakes compared to the Great Plains, as it lies in a region with more active geological features such as faults. The Great Plains, on the other hand, is a relatively stable tectonic region with fewer earthquake occurrences.
Ireland does not get major earthquakes. Minor earthquakes can be felt in Ireland often. They are often centred under the Irish Sea or in England. The last was in early 2008.
