Tania 20 Questions

Hello Everyone,
I Have some questions.
Why do earthquakes occur?
Why do some locations such as Califonia and Japan receive so many earthquakes?
Can earthquakes be predicted?
Can we design a city to better withstand an earthquake?


Cheers Tania

  1. Hi Tania,
    I know a few answers to your questions.
    Earthquakes occur when 2 plates rub together or diverge, converge and transform.
    Califonia and Japan receive so many earthquakes because they are on a fault line.
    Hope this helps you.
    From William.
