Mr Rayon Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I know countries in the ring of fire experience the greatest number of earthquakes worldwide, but which of these within the ring fire experience the highest number of earthquakes? Does modern science know the numbers? Is there some sort of world ranking, for greatest number of earthquakes experienced (e.g. since 1900) out there for countries worldwide?

John Cuthber Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 If I had a seismograph I would have experienced the Japanese earthquake here in England. So all countries experience all earthquakes. If you are looking for epicentres you could look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deadly_earthquakes_since_1900 sort the quakes into alphabetical order by country then count them.

Airbrush Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Larger countries have more area for quakes to happen. Countries with a lot of coastline will have more tsunamis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
