The plates slide against each other, causeing earthquakes.
On average, there are around 500,000 earthquakes a year globally, but the majority of them are too small to be felt. It's estimated that about 100,000 of these earthquakes can be felt by people, with around 100-150 being strong enough to cause damage. The number of earthquakes per year can vary due to various factors.
There were over 1,600 earthquakes in the continental US in 2013 with magnitude 2.5 and greater not including Alaska and Hawaii. For 2000 - 2012 the average number of measured earthquakes per year was 3,822.The total count is much higher because many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.To see a list of more recent (or historic) earthquakes, visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.
There will be earthquakes in 2012 (and there already have been), as earthquakes occur every day. If you are referring to the global earthquake that is supposed to end the world, then no. Such an event is impossible.
Wisconsin does not experience frequent earthquakes due to its location in the interior of the North American tectonic plate. However, there have been some small earthquakes recorded in the state, but they are rare and generally not significant in terms of damage or impact.
27 earthquakes have happened from 1995 to 2008.
about how many earthquakes were in north America

Yes, earthquakes caused damage in the place where it happened. Many people may be killed for it.
there were 2 earth quakes in hati!!!
If you have ever felt an earthquake you will know they exist. Billions of people have felt earthquakes and many millions of people have been killed by earthquakes. Buildings collapse in many earthquakes. Earthquakes leave plenty of evidence and witnesses behind them that they happened.

Millions. There are earthquakes happening all the time. Most are too small for anyone to notice but that does not mean that they are not happening.
