How many earthquakes happen each year that you can feel?
There are approximately 30,000 earthquakes each year that are strong enough to be felt by people. They range in magnitude but tend to be small to moderate in size. These earthquakes are scattered all around the world.
How many earthquakes in 2010 until now?
There are earthquakes almost everyday, some have small magnitudes, you can barely feel them.
What is the easiest thing to predict for earthquakes?
The easiest thing to predict for earthquakes is aftershocks, which are smaller earthquakes that follow a larger mainshock. These aftershocks tend to occur in the same region after the main earthquake and can be predicted using statistical models based on historical data.
Why is it easier to predict where an earthquake will occur than when?
Because earthquakes tend to occur where there are stresses in the crust which lead to the storage of energy in the form of elastic strain. This tends to occur at plate boundaries and this deformation can be monitored by scientists. This lets them know that an earthquake is likely to occur in a particular area, but it does not enable them to say when it will occur.
Why is there earthquakes in the wordd?
This is because the world is always changing. This change is gradual and will occur over many generations. When a tectonic plates shifts, the ground shakes. This is an earthquake. However, this shift is only a few inches or sometimes feet! There are earthquakes because it helps in the forming of land.
How many earthquakes happen in California each year?
On average, 102 occur per day, with 37,283 occurring per year.
How are tsunamis and aftershocks related to earthquakes?
A Tsunami is caused by an Earthquake. The ground or area of land shakes which causes a small to large wave in a body of water, which is a Tsunami. An aftershock tends to be a couple of smaller earthquakes, after a large earthquake that you are able to feel. Tons of earthquakes can occur throughout the day, but they have a big enough decimal to actually be able to feel them.

Can you feel earthquakes on the moon?
no

Are earthquakes caused by plates sliding past each other?
Yes, earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When two plates slide past each other, get stuck, and then suddenly release, it generates seismic waves that we feel as earthquakes.
How do people feel when there is an earthquakes?
people feel happy and excited
Where do earthquakes happen'?
Earthquakes most commonly occur along fault lines, or divisions within the Earth's crust. The Earth's crust is divided into giant plates, which move incredibly slowly (only a couple of inches a year) as they rotate around the Earth's molten core. Earthquakes occur when these plates interact with one another, such as when they collide.Most earthquakes occur in the same places as volcanoes: the ring of fire and plate boundaries. This is, of course, because it is the movement of the plate boundaries that cause the earthquake.You will get earthquakes in other places occasionally: they are rarely big enough to be felt.Earthquakes could happen anywhere in the world, but most are on faultlines where tectonic plates meet.I slept through an earthquake in Pennsylvania once...Earthquakes strike EVERYWHERE. There are thousands of earthquakes a day, though they are only a low number on the Richter scale and we cant feel them as much as a more intense earthquake.Some recent major earthquakes in Japan and Haiti.Answer:Earthquakes generally happen in areas which are close to the borders of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. As the plates slip against each other they do not slide smoothly but catch and hold causing the earthquakes.anywhere really but mostly by japan and china so near asia
How often do earthquakes occur in BC?
BC experiences thousands of earthquakes each year, but the majority are minor and go unnoticed. Larger earthquakes, capable of causing damage, occur less frequently. On average, BC has about 2-3 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher each year.

What do earthquakes feel like?
What earthquakes feel like will depend on how large the earthquake is. Small earthquakes might just feel like a large vehicle is driving by. Bigger earthquakes feel like floor or ground you are standing on is trembling and shaking.
