Answer 1

There are no active faults on the east coast, as the North American and Pacific tectonic plates are shifting.

An earthquake is the shaking of the Earth's surface brought on by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere, which produces seismic waves (also known as a quake, tremor, or temblor) A quake, tremor, or temblor are other names for it. There are many strengths of earthquakes, ranging from very tiny to very strong. Seismic activity is defined as the number, kind, and size of earthquakes observed over a given time period. The surface of the Earth is shaken, moved, or otherwise disturbed during earthquakes. When a large earthquake's epicentre lies offshore, the seabed may be sufficiently shaken to cause a tsunami. Landslides have been linked to earthquakes in the past.
