Areas prone to earthquakes should be identified so that people can prepare for them. Most notably, bridges and public buildings should be built to withstand earthquakes.
A certain area might suffer more damage in earthquakes. It is because that area might be near the epicenter.
Why do the areas along the ring of fire experience many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Areas in Cebu that are prone to earthquakes include the eastern side of the island, particularly along the Philippine Fault Zone which runs through the central part of the island. Additionally, coastal areas near the Cebu Strait may also be at higher risk due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries. It's important to stay informed about seismic activity and be prepared for potential earthquakes in these areas.
Mountains and earthquakes occur in the same fold mountain areas because of the tectonic plates coming together, moving apart, and sliding one atop another. This causes areas to rise and form mountains.
Earthquakes happen everywhere, but they're more frequent in some areas then others. It's quicker to explain where Earthquakes happen and let you work out where they're less likely to happen. Earthquakes are most common at tectonic plate boundaries, that is, where different plates meet. The largest events usually happen where two plates are colliding. About 90% of the world's earthquakes happen along the ring of fire. The ring of fire is roughly where the Pacific Ocean is near to or touches land. It's caused by tectonic plate movement/collisions.
Yes. Several areas in Russia are prone to earthquakes.
We can't be certain, but it seems very unlikely that there is any magnetic component to earthquakes.

Yes. Most areas of the world can get tornadoes and at least small earthquakes.
A number of reasons. There are far fewer major volcanic eruptions than there are earthquakes. Earthquakes have no warning. Most volcanos give warning signs before a major eruption. Earthquakes affect far larger areas, and those areas are more likely to have people living in them. Unless you are near a volcano, *and* in the path of a pyroclastic flow, a blast, or are two stupid to get out of the way of a lava flow, they are unlikely to kill you.
It is unlikely that Huns and Visigoths will descend on the US
