+++ As a general rule, anywhere a safe distance from a subduction zone, hence for example most of the E coast of America, and the coast of NW Europe (including the British Isles which are on the same plate.) That doesn't mean these regions do not have earthquakes - only that the tremors are normally so small that they are only detected by seismographs of felt as a slight vibration most people would dismiss as from a passing aircraft or heavy vehicle.

Do earthquakes happen everyday?
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.
Why do earthquakes happen and what causes them"?
Earthquakes happen when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually caused by the movement of tectonic plates. This movement creates stress and pressure that builds up over time until it is released in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
What time of day do earthquakes happen?

Which areas are most unlikely to suffer an earthquake?
Earthquakes happen everywhere, but they're more frequent in some areas then others. It's quicker to explain where Earthquakes happen and let you work out where they're less likely to happen. Earthquakes are most common at tectonic plate boundaries, that is, where different plates meet. The largest events usually happen where two plates are colliding. About 90% of the world's earthquakes happen along the ring of fire. The ring of fire is roughly where the Pacific Ocean is near to or touches land. It's caused by tectonic plate movement/collisions.
What are the three types of earhquakes?
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.
At what time of year do earthquakes usually happen?
never
Why do earthquakes usually occur plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are usually happen along the edges of the tectonic plates and are caused by the plates hitting together.
Can earthquakes happen today?

How many earthquakes happen in one minute?
yes there are earthequakes occuring every single minute or even every couple of seconds ,there are earthquakes that you can't even feel and probably wont even know about which do not cause any damage , however there are earthquakes that are average wich cause a bit of damage .Also earthquakes such as the one that occured in japan a couple of years ago cause hell lot of damage as you probably would know ,but dont worry as them earthquakes dont happen often.
Do earthquakes occur fast?
Yes, earthquakes happen suddenly and unexpectedly. They can occur in a matter of seconds or minutes, making them very difficult to predict accurately.
