British Columbia is located near a plate boundary that has two segments to it. Off the coast of southern British Columbia is a subduction zone where the Juan de Fuca plate slides into and under the North American Plate. Off the coast of northern Biritish Columbia is a transform boundary where the Pacific Plate slides past the North American Plate. As these plates move, they tend to "snag" on one another and build up tension. When the plates slip and release tension, earthquakes occur.
The British Empire gave the name to British Columbia, back when it was a colony of theirs. They wanted to name the colony after the Columbia river, but were afraid if they just called it 'Columbia', people would confuse it with Colombia, which is in South America. So, they put 'British' in front of it.
There is no legal age. I started when i was 4, and is still riding around, so any age in British Columbia.
There are many things that make each Province and/ or Territory in Canada unique. British Columbia in particular is unique because of it's large mountains, and weather. It also is located near great bodies of water.
They made sure that British law was enforced properly so that the Americans couldn't do anything.

Depends on if you drive or fly how long it takes. It is approximately 2500 miles to British Columbia so how you get there determines the time.

Western Canada so British Columbia, Alberta and etc.
When traveling from Ontario to British Columbia, you are generally heading west. Ontario is located to the east of British Columbia, so the journey involves moving across several provinces in Canada, typically through Manitoba and Alberta, before reaching British Columbia.

It is next to the Pacific Ocean.

It is expensive to live in British Columbia because a lot of wealthier people live there and so the prices go up to meet the customer. It is also some distance from many producers of goods and so the cost of shipping there is high. Low paid jobs exist everywhere.
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
The British Columbia is Canada's westermost province.
No because Madagascar is not in-between two continental plates so they don't have many earthquakes.
