the poop happens world we live in thread 2XXX

It's not as though anywhere on the earth is exempt from earthquakes, just some are much more prone to them than others because of the collosion of plates or something. I don't know, I'm not a geographysicisticles.

Its true that no where is really exempt from them, but New Hampshire never really gets anything beyond a 3.0, and even that is pretty damn rare. We're pretty far from anything resembling a fault line.

Actually there apparently is a pretty decently sized fault line near where I live, but I don't think anything actually happens there for some reason. Also the east coast is less prone APPARENTLY because of the fact it's "older rock". I have no idea whether that's true, but basically it's supposed to move a lot less than the pacific coast areas.
