The answer depends on the size of the earthquake. Over the entire Earth, the number of earthquakes with magnitudes of 8 and greater is less than one each year. However, each year there are about 10 earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater and 100 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater. No matter where they occur, these earthquakes are all powerful enough to be recorded by all or mostly all of the world's sensitive seismograph stations, such as UTIG's station HKT.

Piles (hemorrhoids) are common in both men and women. By the age of 50 half of the people develop hemorrhoids to some extent. Although bleeding may occur in some cases, it does not cause any serious problem. But a person suffering from long standing bleeding piles (hemorrhoids) can have anemia. Women usually tend to develop piles (hemorrhoids) during pregnancy because of the pressure of the fetus and hormonal changes, but it is usually a temporary problem and disappears after childbirth.

Wherever faults exist an earthquake can occur. That includes places that have never experienced an earthquake in recorded history and places listed as devoid of any reasonable risk on seismic hazard maps. However, earthquakes are much more likely to occur in some places than others; they are most likely along the boundaries between tectonic plates and at particular points of weakness within plates.

Where can I find information on the world's earthquakes? In addition to the international networks which can detect earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 and greater, the majority of the countries have their own national network. All these networks are listed on the University of Washington site. Are earthquakes really on the increase? No, earthquakes occur at more or less at the same rate every year.

Earthquakes happen all the time. The earthquake itself is thought to occur when the state of stress exceeds the strength of the fault (or rock), the fault slips suddenly, and the 'earthquake' or ground shaking begins. See similar questions...

Melanoma can occur on any part of the body. Primary tumors are most common on the trunk in men and on the lower extremity (thighs, legs, feet) in women. Studies have concluded that incisional biopsies of melanoma do not cause the tumor to spread locally or metastasize. See similar questions...

Some of the side effects from radiation therapy (either external beam radiotherapy or prostate seed implant therapy) occur within days or weeks of the treatment and are called the acute side effects. Other side effects, known as late side effects, may not appear for six or more months after the treatment. See similar questions...

Quakes do occur on the Moon, but we call them moonquakes instead of earthquakes. The Apollo space missions emplaced five seismographs on the Moon; four recorded seismic activity until 1977. Although the Moon doesn't have multiple tectonic plates like the Earth, it does have a lithosphere which acts as a single plate. Thus the tectonic inter-plate earthquakes prevalent on the Earth cannot occur on the moon. However, the Moon does experience shallow intra-plate (interior of a plate) earthquakes.

In addition to measles, malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea, crowded settlements may be prone to outbreaks of cholera, meningitis, and other diseases that can spread from person to person rapidly. Such outbreaks can cause many deaths in a relatively short period of time. For example, within 6 weeks of their arrival in Goma, Zaire, almost all the Rwandan refugees were infected with cholera, causing more than 40,000 deaths. See similar questions...

Earthquakes can occur any time of day or night. There is no correlation between time of day and earthquake occurance, although small earthquakes may be more noticeable at night when there is less cultural noise from heavy equipment and transportation, and from weather. See similar questions...

There are no defined fault lines in the Alanya area. However current Goverment legislation requires that all buildings are designed and constructed to full earthquake design standards. See similar questions...

Varicose veins are most commonly found on the legs of women and men who spend a lot of time on their feet. Birth control pills, hormone therapy, obesity, weight fluctuation, and constipation can also add to the development of varicose veins. See similar questions...

Near-real-time earthquake maps and lists are available at the USGS Pasadena and in Menlo Park recent-earthquake sites and at the Southern California Earthquake Center. Maps of shaking, called ShakeMaps, which show the areas of ground shaking for significant recent earthquakes are available for both Northern California and Southern California.

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. They do not know how, and they do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future. However, based on scientific data, probabilities can be calculated for potential future earthquakes. For example, scientists estimate that over the next 30 years the probability of a major EQ occurring in the San Francisco Bay area is 67% and 60% in Southern California See similar questions...
