0.3 magnitude
The earthquake is where?
A Earthquake is located where the two plates (a plate boundary) meet and there is to much pressure building up and that is how and where a earthquake is and how it happens.
How can erupt the volcano?

because it is getting to much pressure
Where is a good place to build a house so it won't collapse in an earthquake?
Actually it is not so much where, but HOW you build that house. NO PLACE ON THE PLANET is immune from earthquakes.
Why do geologists collect data on friction along the sides of faults?
Geologists collect data on friction along the side of faults so that they can predict how much pressure is applied on the faults so they can predict how strong the earthquake is.
How does pressure help build earthquakes?
To get the Earth to move (quake), much force is needed. Pressure is force per unit area.
Why does your nose bleed when you laugh?
Most likely dry air. Or a build up of too much pressure.
Why could steamboat travel be dangerous?
