What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
How many people have died from the earthquakes?
Excellent question! However, not enough information is available to provide a specific number of deaths from all earthquakes that occured everywhere in the world since the beginning of time. I did some lengthy research on this and I could only find statistics on a 'per earthquake' basis. It has data from the year 1900 forward. For earthquakes with at least 1,000 fatalities, check out: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/world_deaths.php For earthquakes with over 50,000 fatalities, check out: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/most_destructive.php The U.S. Geological Survey website has a wealth of information! I highly encourage you to check it out at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/10,000
Why does Vancouver have so many earthquakes?
Vancouver is located near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This tectonic activity creates a high potential for seismic activity, leading to earthquakes in the region.
How often is there an earthquake in the world?
It is almost impossible to know because there are earthquakes of different sizes all over the world. It is said that there are earthquakes happening every where every day. Most are so small they did not register on the Richter Scale and many that do are so small they are not worth mentioning as no one notices or feels them. The only ones that get mentioned and recorded with geological survey centers are the ones that register or are significant enough to be felt or have an effect on anything.
Where are earthquakes happening?
Earthquakes are happening around the world all the time, although most are so small they are not felt or remarked upon. Larger earthquakes tend to happen more commonly at fault lines.
Where are earthquakes and volcanoes located?
Mostly on the edge of plate tectonics, but not all the time so bear that in mind
Do people feel all earthquakes?
some are every little so people dont feel it but most of the time its quite big so yes people mostly feel the earthquakes......i should now!
Are earthquakes always bad?
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
Are there many earthquakes in Madagascar?
No because Madagascar is not in-between two continental plates so they don't have many earthquakes.
If earths plate are always moving why are there no earthquakes all the time?
Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates release stress that has built up over time. The movement of plates is not constant; they can get stuck and then suddenly release energy, causing an earthquake. The majority of earthquakes are also too small to be felt by humans.
How many earthquakes have the US had?
Earthquakes (big and small) happen so many times a day, it is impossible to put a number on it.
Why some earthquakes don't cause concern?
some earhtquakes wont cause concern because they are very miner on a rictor scale or cannot even be seen by the naked eye only picked up by a seismograph. earthquakes that are so small scientist dont bother examining them. in fact there are many small earthquakes happening all time
Why do we have earthquakes so often?
Earthquakes occur due to the movement of tectonic plates along faults in the Earth's crust. This movement releases accumulated stress that has built up over time, causing the ground to shake. The frequency of earthquakes can vary depending on the location of the fault lines and tectonic plate boundaries.
Why all earthquakes are not damaging?
Earthquakes vary greatly in intensity. Many are not strong enough to cause any notable damage. Additionally, in some earthquake-prone areas the buildings are built to withstand earthquakes, and so are less likely to be damaged.
Why are you having so many earthquakes in this decade?
Global warming
Why does Guatemala have so many earthquakes?
because of the pthagereon thereom
