The Meckering earthquake of 1968 was caused by the movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. Specifically, it was the result of the Indian-Australian tectonic plate and the Eurasian plate interacting along a fault line in Western Australia.
The African Plate moving over the Eurasian plate created a tremor along the fault line. Because the Focus of the Earthquake was underwater it quickly spread out, and the shockwaves flew rapidly underwater and over the west coast of England.

The Kobe earthquake was caused by the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The earthquake occurred along a fault line between these two plates in the southern part of Japan.
Yes, a country that is not on a fault line can still experience earthquakes. These earthquakes can be caused by other geological processes, such as volcanic activity, or by human activities like mining or reservoir-induced seismicity. Additionally, seismic waves can travel long distances and cause shaking in regions far from where the earthquake originated.
The Tangshan region lies on the Tangshan-Hejian-Cixian fault zone, which is considered one of the most active fault systems in the North China Basin. This fault zone has been associated with significant seismic activity, including the 1976 Tangshan earthquake.
No an earthquake is caused because in that certain area where the earthquake was , there was a fault line.
The fault that caused the 1995 Kobe earthquake was the Nojima fault.

The Loma Prieta earthquake was caused by the rupture of the San Andreas Fault system, resulting from the tectonic forces along the fault line. The movement of the Pacific Plate against the North American Plate caused stress to build up and eventually release in the form of an earthquake.
Sichuan is a very active tectonic area. The earthquake in Sichuan of May 2008 was caused by the movement along a fault line. The deformation of the crust in this region was caused by the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This has created the Himalayas over the years as earthquakes are common in this collision zone. The earthquake was felt in Beijing and Shanghai, over 1500km away.
Kobe is on the nojima fault line
it was caused by the two plates in the earth that hit each other
The odds of Ontario to have a large scale earthquake is slim to none due to the fact that Ontario doesn't sit on a fault line. The fault lines are what causes earthquake. For example, San Fransisco sits directly on top of the San Andreas fault line. When an earthquake hits, the impact is always devastating. Even recently with the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, Haiti sits close to the Carribean fault line. This is what caused the Earthquake. Waterloo Ontario had an earthquake @1:48pmr June 23 2010 "3.5 or higher"
