What season do earthquakes occur?
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.
Why Do More Earthquakes Occur In The Northern Hemisphere?
I am not sure that they actually do have more Earthquakes in the Northern hemisphere. However, as the Northern Hemisphere has more land mass than the Southern hemisphere, more land based Earthquakes will inevitably be detected.
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow-focus earthquakes cause more damage than deep-focus earthquakes. This is because shallow-focus earthquakes originate closer to the Earth's surface, which allows the energy to be more concentrated and lead to stronger shaking and more destruction of structures. Deep-focus earthquakes, occurring deeper underground, tend to have their energy dissipate before reaching the surface.
Why do some areas of the world have more earthquakes than others?
Some areas have more earthquakes because they are located near tectonic plate boundaries where the Earth's plates interact and cause seismic activity. The movement of these plates can lead to the buildup of stress in the Earth's crust, which is released as earthquakes. Areas with more active faults are more likely to experience frequent earthquakes.
Do earthquakes happen more in the summer or winter?
In Nepal they've found that more earthquakes happen in the northern hemisphere's winter. A few articles say this is due to increased rain fall, but I think it has more to do with the northern hemisphere reaching full solar aphelion (cloest point of orbit) in early January. This closer proximity to the sun exerts a huge gravitational pull on earth, triggering earthquakes.
Did Australia receive more earthquakes than any other country?
No

What Asian Country has more earthquakes than any other place on earth?
Japan
Are earthquakes getting worse in Japan?
yes they are, and if any more struck there will be no such thing as japan.
Are there any volcanoes or earthquakes in Iraq?
Iraq experiences earthquakes but does not have any volcanoes.
Is there going to be any more earthquake?
Yes. There will always be earthquakes due to the earth's tectonic plates
Why are there more earthquakes in the US than any part of the Earth?
because America is in an earthquake zone...
What kils more people earthquakes or volcanoes?
Earthquakes
What kills more people earthquakes or volcanos?
Earthquakes
Are any earthquakes on Venus's?
there is no core on Venus causing there to be no earthquakes on Venus
Are there more earthquakes in Florida or China?
China experiences many more earthquakes than Florida.
Do earthquakes occur under the sea?
Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.
