look at a map of the earths plates move to the middle of a plate not the edge.  But bad things do happen to every one.

Answer 23

Indiana(yawn!).

Answer 24

In general, the further you get from the meeting of the tectonic plates, the less seismic activity there is. I learned in an oceanography class that earthquakes have been known to occur in the middle of the country as well. California has been known to have so many earthquakes because we are situated on top of a joining of two tectonic plates. Whew! All that said, there are few places that do not have the potential for earthquakes. Most faults are inactive, and the threat for activity is miniscule, but nonetheless, the threat is still there. I believe Kansas had an earthquake a few years back.

Answer 25

wrong to the first person who answered....every place in the world has earthquakes....the just so small and weak that they cant be felt by humans. most earthquakes deep inland of land are level 1 on the scale. it takes it to be level 3 to have it be felt by humans. the continent of n. and s. america move 13inches a year and the other side of the world moves 18inches a year. eventually n. america will collide with asia and s. america with asia and australlia. in about 4 million year the world will slowly rotate back to its original position of pangea...but that will take about 15 million years

Answer 26

Technically there are earthquakes everywhere, but they only have significant damage in the areas by techtonic plates, such as california. Such as the fact that there was once an earthquake noticably felt in tennesse.

Answer 27

I'm from Paris, France. I've never heard of any earthquakes there or anywhere in France.

Earthquakes belongs in SCIFI movies and maybe some Asian countries on the other side of the planet.

Then I come to USA and hear they have them on the West Coast!

Answer 28

Anywhere can have an earthquake, an earthquake is caused when tectonic plates hit, causing a ripple effect (IE....EarthQuake) the ripples can be bigger or smaller depending on the force exerted. Throw a rock in a puddle or pond, the harder you throw the rock the larger and more out the ripples go. No matter how far away u are from the plates if enough force is let loose the ripples could still travel pretty far. Just some places are closer to the borders of tectonic plates than others.

Answer 29

Yes, lots.  But you would more than likely find things like tornados, hurricanes, wild fires, bitter cold, sweltering heat or any number of natural occurrences instead.  Except here in the Mid-Atlantic region.  Another reason Philly Rocks.

Answer 30

No.  Everywhere on earth is prone to earthquakes.  The difference is in frequency.  Some played may go thousands and thousands of years without one.

Answer 31

I live in Minnesota, and there are no Earthquakes here. It depends upon where you live. But if you follow safety precautions, odds are, nothings gonna land on your head, even if your house has moved six feet when you open your eyes!
