Norway is not considered a high-risk earthquake zone. It experiences occasional seismic activity, but the tremors are usually of low magnitude and infrequent. The country is not located near any tectonic plate boundaries, which are areas prone to more frequent and stronger earthquakes.

Sweden and Finland receive less rain than Norway because they are located in the rain shadow of the Scandinavian mountain range. This mountain range blocks moisture-laden air masses coming from the west, resulting in less rainfall in the eastern regions of Sweden and Finland. Additionally, Norway's coastal location allows it to receive more moisture from the Atlantic Ocean, increasing its rainfall levels.

The approximate latitude of Oslo, the capital of Norway, is 59.9 degrees North. Norway as a country stretches from about 58 to 71 degrees North latitude.

Nearly half of Norway lies above the Arctic Circle, which is located at approximately 66.5 degrees north latitude. This demarcation signifies the point at which the sun does not set for at least 24 hours during the summer solstice.

I know that it was ages ago that you asked your question, but I just stumbled across Pink Fiord on eBay and wondered the same thing. I found this on a website:

Those of us who love Scottish jewelry are particularly fond of the quartz gemstones, for so many examples are set with the best-known of the quartzes, amethyst and citrine, both native to Scotland. In the past, when we thought of pink quartz, we thought of the opaque rose quartz. Now from Norway comes this beautiful transparent light pink quartz, known as Pink Fjord.

Hope that helps--yet another beautiful quartz!

The Norwegian heavy water sabotage was a series of operations undertaken by Norwegian saboteurs during World War II to prevent the German nuclear weapon project from acquiring heavy water, a critical component for producing nuclear weapons. The saboteurs successfully destroyed German heavy water production facilities multiple times, impeding the progress of Nazi Germany's nuclear program.

In Norway, Tromsø, Lakselv, and Vadsø, as well as Senja Island, are all within 1/2 degree of 70 north latitude.

Powdered limestone is added to lakes in Norway and Sweden as a restoration technique to combat acidification caused by acid rain. Limestone acts as a buffer, neutralizing the acidity in the water and improving the pH levels to support aquatic life. This helps to restore the ecological balance of the lake and promote biodiversity.

Norway can produce a lot of hydroelectricity because it has abundant water resources in the form of rivers and waterfalls, which can be harnessed to generate electricity. Additionally, Norway has a hilly and mountainous terrain that is well-suited for building hydroelectric power plants. The country also has a long history of investing in and developing hydroelectric infrastructure.

The average snowfall in Norway varies widely depending on the region. In general, coastal areas tend to receive less snow compared to inland and mountainous regions. In places such as Oslo or Bergen, the average snowfall can range from 30-50 inches per year, while in northern regions like Tromsø, it can exceed 100 inches.

Svalbard has sea ice in winter, and glaciers all the year round, but it is also warmed by the North Atlantic Drift, a warm current that continues from the Gulf Stream.

Global warming may change the movement, direction and temperature of the ocean currents, so any change will mean colder temperatures for Svalbard, at least for a while.

If the North Atlantic Drift continues to warm the islands then the sea ice will disappear, forcing polar bears to hunt on land, or to move north, closer to the pole.

Norway has a varied climate due to its long coastline, mountains, and inland plateaus. In general, the coastal areas have milder winters and cooler summers with more precipitation, while further inland experiences colder winters and warmer summers with less precipitation.
