Why do some places have earthquakes but others do not?
The structure of the Earth is complicated, both in terms of the composition of the crust in which earthquakes occur, and in terms of the currents in the magma which exert force on the crust and cause earthquakes. Also dependant on where or what country your in, and whether the place lies on or close to seperated platelets(i.e san andreas fault) the quake is caused by disruptions in the earths crust, when the 1 side of the crust moves it causes a disruption with other, the fault line shifts causing friction, thus causing the earth to literally move hence the quake. Depending on the amount of movement with the plates, determines the strength of the quake i.e more movement the stronger the quake.
