Does YN have earthquakes?

[Huswyae]

Central Huswyae lies on a fault line, so we get earthquakes felt across the country. All buildings must fit certain earthquake proof criteria.

The biggest Earthquake recorded in Huswyae's history happened in Ecklin, Chaswan. Chaswan is a province that lies on the fault line, so it gets badly hit with them. The Ecklin Quake was a magnitude 9.2 on the Richter scale. 500 people died and 100 buildings fell.

[Frenequesta]

Inevitably. The whole state of Southern Frenequesta is on a different tectonic plate than the rest of the nation, and many earthquakes in Frenequesta occur around the Holmann Mountains that separate Southern Frenequesta from the rest of the country. Neue Bayreuth is to the south while the Holmann Mountains are in the north, and are far away enough that it rarely gets shocks or even aftershocks. Earthquakes also commonly occur near Unirove, in the far west of Frenequesta, and on the west coast of Kittgenstein near the Kettingstone range. Virtually all large cities, with the exception of Jansenville in the east, have some sort of special regulations to make buildings within the city limits earthquake-proof.

The deadliest earthquake in Frenequesta was a 6.2 magnitude quake in Unirove on August 12, 2218, which killed 22 people, most of them who occupied a building that had faulty design to begin with.

The strongest earthquake to date was a tremor off the coast of the corner of the Carroll-Wimmer Federal Park in East Jorgen and the state of Kittgenstein, registering at 8.5. It was significantly felt in Xin Anhuai, the nearest large city to the epicenter.

[Fadriotho]

yes

[Beaverriver]

We have had major Earthquakes in the past like the 1863 Sound Earthquake that had a magnitude of 8.7 causing massive destruction to the nation's infrastructure, especially in the cities of Flounders and Salvan. Many seismologist are predicting that another earthquake of similar magnitude has a 20% chance of happening within the next 50 years causing the government to prepare emergency responders for helping areas cut off by the Earthquake and informing citizens what to include in their emergency supplies.

[Victorious Decepticons]

That depends on which of its planets is in question.

Cybertron was engineered properly, so it never has any.
Earth, of course, has lots. So many that the phenomena are known as EARTHquakes!
Other organic worlds have varying numbers of them.

[Purpelia]

Nothing super major. We are mostly a flood nation.

[Ambipom]

No. We are an island nation.
-Sweeps

Islands can still get earthquakes, they're just less common. Our island isn't near any plate edges, so we should be fine for a few thousand years.
-Dooblehit

[Gandoor]

We have them, but they're very rare and usually minor. We usually have around 4 or 5 a year, with them almost never being more than a magnitude 3. The largest earthquake in recent history was a magnitude 6.2 that occurred in 1976.

[Ilha das Tempestades]

We get quakes but they are rather infrequent and not very well tracked by official sources within the country. The strongest quake recorded happened before the current state of Ilha das Tempestades existed. A MM 6.6 occurred in the central part of the country decimating villages but largely sparing the present day capital of Port Luiza which did feel the shaking. The rural location of the quake made response virtually non-existent leaving the villages to fend for themselves and rebuild on their own. The quake and the lack of response by the government was just one more factor that helped spur the revolution ushering in the new age of IDT.

[The Vines]

Nope.

Though the nation does sit in the middle of a dormant volcano, so we're a bit worried about that.

[Rebirth Union]

No. We are located in southeast North America in the Mississippi and Louisiana territory.

[Flowrisa]

We do. Flowrisa lies on the Sarajevo fault, which is an active fault. The biggest earthquake ever recorded was the Great Constantinople earthquake, which had a magnitude of 8.9, and took place on June 14th, 1956, which caused massive devastation to the city of Constantinople and Sarajevo.

[The Intergalactic Universe Corporation]

Central Huswyae lies on a fault line, so we get earthquakes felt across the country. All buildings must fit certain earthquake proof criteria.

The biggest Earthquake recorded in Huswyae's history happened in Ecklin, Chaswan. Chaswan is a province that lies on the fault line, so it gets badly hit with them. The Ecklin Quake was a magnitude 9.2 on the Richter scale. 500 people died and 100 buildings fell.

Yes, the different planets all experience earthquakes, with the exception of Halliburton and Asgard, our 2 biggest eucemenopolieses, and that is why all buildings must withstand earthquakes with a magnitude of at least 9 on the Richter scale.

[Arondyte]

The planet of Nyzare, which is the central hub for The Sovereignty of Cyzon Galactic (The ruling megacorporation in charge of the empire of Arondyte), experiences no "earthquakes" (we call them tectonic dissonance events), due to a Tectonic Stabilization Array being constructed 2 miles beneath the surface in 2472 because the Furion in charge of the planet deemed tectonic dissonance events "too annoying to deal with." Other planets of ours experience these events, as they have yet to have a TSA constructed. Our largest dissonance event ever was recorded on the planet Hyderia with a magnitude of 721.38vC (equivalent to ~8.4 on your Richter Scale).

[Troperia]

Earthquakes are quite common here since we live under fault line. A major fault line. As a result, there will be at least one 4.5> Richter earthquake somewhere once a week. The greatest earthquake ever recorded was a 10.5 Richter earthquake that lasted for 8 minutes. Thankfully, the quake happened in the more rural areas of our nation so only 20 people got killed and 235 got hurt. The damages were worth 500,000 Tropes (former currency) though.

[Trive 38]

We only have earthquakes on our Japanese colony, formerly known as Trive 39. They're fairly common, since Japan is located in a fault line. Apart from that, the only earthquake to hit the mainland was caused by a volcanic eruption near Petropavlosky-Kamchatsky

[Nortainland]

The Surveyor-General's Office

Earthquakes are uncommon in Nortend. Though the Army Survey detects around 175 earthquakes a year, most are too small to be felt by humans. Only very rarely have there been any severe earthquakes and there are only five known fatalities as a result of earthquakes. The most devastating earthquake was the 1988 Baurdsleigh earthquake, centred on the Hundred of Baurdsleigh. The earthquake measured a 5.3 on the Richter scale and resulted in three fatalies as a result of collapsing buildings. Nearly all of the buildings in the hundred were damaged in some way, often with large cracks appearing or chimneys collapsing. It is notable that none of the twenty-three churches sustained any major damage, apart from minor cracking and broken tiles.

The most recent earthquake able to be detected occurred on the 3rd of July of this year, centred near Maybunt in Barminstershire. No fatalities were recorded and no major damage sustained to buildings.

[Fatatatutti]

Since Fatatatutti's geological origin is volcanic, you might think earthquakes would be common but in fact there have been no active volcanoes or earthquakes in living memory. The prevailing hypothesis (not espoused by geologists) is that Fatatatutti somehow wandered off the fault line. Fatatatutians can navigate by the stars almost from birth but apparently the island itself is navigationally challenged and can't find its way back.

[Devernia]

Devernia is almost near the edge of the Oceanic Plate, with one fault line in the ocean at eastern Devernia. Earthquakes happen, but you don't feel them most of the time.

However, Devernia's islands were made by supervolcanoes. This doesn't mean that there is abnormal geological or seismological activity in Devernia, as all of them are extinct. Devernia used to be a separate plate of the Earth, until it fused with the Oceanic Plate.

No major earthquakes have happened in Devernia's history.

[Mocran]

yes

[Elite Christianity]

Not much, but in the last Century we had a big earthquake which killed over thousands and injuring many more, we gave it the name Baba.

[Ventalia]

While not exactly common, earthquakes have happened on a wide enough scale to ensure the national building code includes provisions to "earthquake-proof" buildings to some degree.

The worst earthquake in the nation's history didn't actually kill anyone - the ensuing landslides did. The Lower Montmartre Quake of 1882 near the ski and spa town of Montmarte resulted in a landslide that leveled about a third of the town. Some 380 people died and 620 were injured. When visiting the town, it is considered good luck to pay respects at the local memorial before going skiing.

[Radiatia]

Yes there are a number of faultlines running through various parts of the Radiatian Federation.

The most earthquake prone areas include the state of Chongluntz in the east, central Alayenia in the south, and a major faultline in the northwest which is mostly volcanic.

[Herulija]

Herulija is a mountainous alpine region with dense forests. Earthquakes are very rare and small when they do occur, but there is always the possibility of volcanic activity and avalanche.

[Bawur]

Bawur is in an tectonically active zones and minor earthquakes are very common. The population has become used to these small earthquakes and most of them don't react to them. Major earthquakes are quite rare, although, they do happen. In these cases, the government has built special shelters.
