So few earthquakes make the news primarily because most are small and occur in remote areas, causing little to no damage or casualties. Additionally, media coverage tends to focus on significant events with major impacts, such as large earthquakes that result in destruction or loss of life. Advances in monitoring technology also mean that many minor quakes are recorded but not reported widely. As a result, only the most impactful seismic events capture public attention.
What else can I help you with?
Do human feel most of the earthquakes that occur each year or very few?
Extremely few. Most earthquakes happen in the ocean, or too far below the crust for us to feel them, but hundreds happen every week.
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.
Which countries don't have earthquakes?
only countries lining the borders of the crust's plates will experience earthquakes. And since these plates are so big, they cover many countries and the ones in the middle experience earthquakes the least.
Areas along a fault where relativity few earthquakes have occured?
A seismic gap
How many big earthquakes have there been so far this year 2010?
There have been 17 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher so far in 2010.
Why has Britain had so many earthquakes?
Most parts of the world have small earthquakes every few days, small enough not to be noticed by people in general, only by instruments. Britain is fortunate that it generally has few earthquakes that cause damage, unlike places such as Pakistan and California that have had devastating earthquakes during the last 100 years or so.
What is the biggest news happened this summer?
the earthquakes that happened
Are earthquakes significant in Australian history?
No they are not, relatively few earthquakes have ever been recorded in Australia as it is a very stable continent with no active volcanoes and few if no earthquakes.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes be in the news?
Because earthquakes and volcanoes are important, they can cause the death of dozens or even thousands of people.
Is Antarctica subject to earthquakes?
Antarctica is the quietest continent on earth. Antarctica is earthquake-quiet, possibly because of having so few seismographic instruments, so very few quakes are recorded. What does occur in Antarctica is ice-quakes, which are usually smaller than earthquakes.
What is the most dangerous natural disaster in Asia why?
Earthquakes.....watch the news.
Sections of active faults that have had few earthquakes are likely to be sites of strong earthquakes?

States that sections of active faults that have had few earthquakes are likely to be sites of strong earthquakes?

Why there are few earthquakes in California?
because of the Andres fault
Why do few earthquake happen in earths mantle?
Few earthquakes happen in the earths mantle do to the fact that the mantle has a folded deformation. This means that the amount of pressure on the mantle caused it to deform.
Area along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently but where strong earthquakes have happened before?
seismic gap
