Most earthquakes occur on active fault lines such as the San Andreas fault in California. Most fault lines are under water but some come above water, such as the San Andreas fault in San Francisco and the fault line in Iceland. The San Andreas fault caused the great fire in San Francisco.
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Most earthquakes occur in the ring of fire, a large region surrounding the vast Pacific Ocean. There is a lot of active plate movement, and convergent and divergent boundaries cause strike-slip faults to occur. Earthquakes that occur in this region can be in Vanuata, Japan, Alaska, California, Indonesia, and Sumatra.
Earthquakes
The frequency of earthquakes depends on the location. in Japan, earthquakes occur 3 times a month, and in the Sahara in Africa they occur once in five years..
no
Actually they occur in california like 3 times a month but hardly
California has a lot of fault lines, that's why.
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Earthquakes occur there. Tsunamis can then occur. There are also a lot of very bad storms. These can lead to flooding. There are also some volcanoes.
HaitiJapan has quite a lot as it is on the boundary of several tectonic plates.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur

Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
