How the hell can there be such a strong earthquake in England? It's in the middle of the Eurasian plate... [url=http://www.google.com.br/search?q=earthquake+england+how&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla t-BR fficial&client=firefox-a]not even Google knows[/url]!!! |
fault lines occur away from plate boundaries.
Like I said, theres a fault not far form my house, and we're away from the plate boundary. Back in the 50's or 60's we had a quake of about 5-5.5 with the epicentre at that fault. It is possible for a quake like that from a fault line.
Here we go, a list of big SA quakes, and not a plate boundary
