Antarctica is a continent that experiences very few earthquakes due to its location on a stable part of the Earth's crust.
Earthquakes can cause widespread destruction by shaking the ground, collapsing buildings, and triggering landslides. They can also lead to tsunamis if they occur underwater. The impact of an earthquake on a place depends on factors such as the magnitude of the quake, the depth of the focus, the distance from the epicenter, and the local infrastructure.
A place where two plates rub together is called a fault line or a plate boundary. This interaction can lead to earthquakes and volcanic activity as the plates move against each other.
The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
volcanic eruption or the lifting of tectonic plates, leading to earthquakes or mountain formation, respectively.
Plate boundaries were first established based on the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity. Scientists noticed that most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur along specific zones on Earth's surface, which led to the identification of plate boundaries. These boundaries mark the edges of tectonic plates, where interactions such as subduction, spreading, and sliding take place.

Japan it gets very strong earthquakes and may cause a tsunami
In a place that has had no earthquakes in the past.
a place were earthquakes are found
the biosphere
i think in japan
Yes. Most areas of the world can get tornadoes and at least small earthquakes.
mostly California

No, Qatar is always a Safe Place
Iceland lies on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which means that earthquakes are common.
