The plates slide against each other, causeing earthquakes.
On average, there are around 500,000 earthquakes a year globally, but the majority of them are too small to be felt. It's estimated that about 100,000 of these earthquakes can be felt by people, with around 100-150 being strong enough to cause damage. The number of earthquakes per year can vary due to various factors.
It is not possible to predict an earthquake with certainty. The occurrence of earthquakes is a natural phenomenon that is difficult to predict in terms of timing and location. It is important to stay informed and prepared for earthquakes by following safety guidelines and securing your living space.
There were over 1,600 earthquakes in the continental US in 2013 with magnitude 2.5 and greater not including Alaska and Hawaii. For 2000 - 2012 the average number of measured earthquakes per year was 3,822.The total count is much higher because many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.To see a list of more recent (or historic) earthquakes, visit the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program.
Wisconsin does not experience frequent earthquakes due to its location in the interior of the North American tectonic plate. However, there have been some small earthquakes recorded in the state, but they are rare and generally not significant in terms of damage or impact.
27 earthquakes have happened from 1995 to 2008.

If you have ever felt an earthquake you will know they exist. Billions of people have felt earthquakes and many millions of people have been killed by earthquakes. Buildings collapse in many earthquakes. Earthquakes leave plenty of evidence and witnesses behind them that they happened.

New Zealand has many minor earthquakes a year, but only one major earthquake has happened in New Zealand in 2011.

Millions. There are earthquakes happening all the time. Most are too small for anyone to notice but that does not mean that they are not happening.
I think God is just trying to freak us out about 2012.
