Greece sits on the border of two tectonic plates, the Eurasian and the African plate. The Eurasian plate is sliding under the African plate at a rate of around 3cm per year, which results in earthquakes. Since 1900, there have been 7,352 earthquakes in Greece.
Earthquakes can occur along tectonic plate boundaries, where the plates are in motion and often collide or slide past one another. The most active areas for earthquakes are along the Pacific Ring of Fire and along mountain ranges like the Himalayas. However, earthquakes can also occur in areas where there are underground faults or volcanic activity.
Yes, earthquakes happen every day around the world. However, the majority of these earthquakes are minor and go unnoticed by people. Stronger earthquakes that can cause damage are less frequent.
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
