Africa experiences fewer earthquakes compared to other continents primarily because much of the continent is situated on the stable African tectonic plate. While there are regions, such as the East African Rift, where tectonic activity occurs, the majority of the continent is far from the boundaries of tectonic plates, where most seismic activity happens. Additionally, the continental crust in Africa is generally thicker and more stable, contributing to a lower frequency of earthquakes.
