There isn't a truly "earthquake free" zone on Earth; theoretically, earthquakes can strike anywhere, at any time. Historically, though, 81 percent of earthquakes occur along the rim of the Pacific Ocean (which includes Chile, Central America, Mexico, and the West Coast of the United States). The other two "belts" known for earthquakes are the Alpide (which extends through the Himalayas to the Mediterranean and out into the Atlantic) and the one that follows the submerged mid-Atlantic ridge.
The shadow zone, located at a distance of 103 to 143 degrees from the earthquake epicenter, is the area on Earth's surface where both P and S waves are completely absorbed and do not arrive due to the core's properties.
The shadow zone, between 105 to 140 degrees away from an earthquake, is where no P waves are recorded due to the refraction and reflection of these waves within the Earth's core. This zone helps scientists understand the structure of the Earth's core and mantle.
The shadow zone is caused by the refraction of seismic waves in Earth's core. P and S waves are refracted (bent) as they travel through different layers of the Earth, leading to a region where they are not detected by seismographs.
Probably the one that resulted by the impactor that spawned the Moon, followed by the one that occurred when the Moon broke free.
The shadow zone is an area on Earth's surface where no direct seismic waves from an earthquake can be detected due to the bending of the waves as they pass through the outer core. By studying the shadow zone, scientists can infer the composition and properties of the outer core, helping to understand the structure of the Earth's interior.
Shadow zone is the term used to indicate the region where no earthquake waves reach Earth's surface. This area occurs beyond 105 degrees from the epicenter of an earthquake.
An area of Earth's surface where seismographs cannot detect an earthquake after waves has passed.
because America is in an earthquake zone...

depends on the focus and epicenter depends on the focus and epicenter
a hazard zone are places that suffer from earthquake all the time
