Wheres the next earthquake going to happen?

Question

Chile,Japan.Turkey,Haiti,Taiwan.

Whats next? I say maybe Cali or no where in the U.S.A.We haven't had one in a while so I doubt if we have a strong one anytime soon.

Answer 1

Well, according to Google Earth's real-time earthquake application, the Mariana Islands just had a magnitude 6 and a magnitude 5 a couple of hours ago.



On average, around the world, every year you can expect:



Descriptor ....... Magnitude ......... Annual average

Great .............. 8 or higher ........ 1

Major .............. 7–7.9 ................ 17

Strong ............. 6–6.9 ............... 134

Moderate ......... 5–5.9 ............... 1,319

Light ............... 4–4.9 ............ c. 13,000

Minor .............. 3–3.9 ............ c. 130,000

Very minor ...... 2–2.9 ............. c. 1,300,000



Of which none are accurately predictable.

Answer 2

Actually, we have earthquakes every day in California. Really. You just can't feel most of them and if you can, it's so mild no one cares. See? -----> http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/ In a couple little California towns they get enough shaking that the shelves in the markets are slanted back so stuff doesn't fall off the shelves and you have to pay attention to where the fault lines lie before you build a house or an addition or your bedroom and bathroom may end up further apart from one another than when you built the place relatively quickly due to the movement of the San Andreas fault.



Hey, as long as it moves, I'm happy. It's when it isn't slowly moving on a daily basis and gets "stuck" that it will violently snap and cause a major quake.

Answer 3

If only one knew the answer to this how many lives would be saved. All we know is the logic behind Earthquakes, hopefully someone somewhere will stumble on an answer after due research. The San Andreas fault?. I wonder cause the last 2 are coming closer to that point. However, I pray it never happens

Answer 4

Actually if you go to the USGS website you see that earthquakes happen continuously all over the world. California has about 20 a week. They are just small ones so they are not reported to the public. Indonesia also has a lot. So no one knows when the next big one will occur.

Answer 5

Earthquakes are continuously occurring. There were about 1,000 earthquakes charted in the United States last week:

We are definitely due for a big one along the New Madrid fault line that will take out Memphis and St. Louis.

Answer 6

Only God Knows.....But A Real Famous Man Long Time Ago Said That In His Visions....He Seen California Being Shaking

Answer 7

I heard Turkey just had one. They are happening a lot all over the world. California can happen at anytime. It can happen in New Jersey. In the last 7 days we have had 223.

Answer 8

probably a state close to a major and active fault line in the USA. there hasnt been a major quake in USA for quite some time.

Answer 9

Looks like Turkey was the winner.

Answer 12

There is a strong possibility it will next be in Cali. It's about due because of Hollywood

Answer 13

The US will not have one yet. So far the US only curses Christians they haven't yet harmed them like the countries that have. It depends on what Obama says next.

Answer 14

Los Angeles is long overdue. Unfortunately.

Answer 15

Someplace unexpected.

Answer 16

Coming soon to a fault line near you.

It's pretty random I guess unless our answers here could dictate where it will happen next.

Answer 18

between two plates of the earths crust like they always have



your question turns havoc and destruction into a morbid and sick guessing game btw

Answer 19

Google 'New Madrid'. It's about time for one to hit us.

Answer 20

On a faultline, most likely.

Answer 21

Like all of us, I hope it's not near me.
