Could earthquake happen at the same time at different locations in the world?
Earthquakes are distributed semi-randomly around the world at plate boundaries, and can happen anywhere that they want whenever they want. The total earthquake count, averaged is 600,000+ per year, at 80,000 per month, 2,600 per day, 2 per minute, and dozens ever second, with one of them large enough to be felt every 30 seconds or so. However, very few of these earthquakes are large enough to be damaging. As the plates are constantly in motion, you can have earthquakes occurring at the same moment anywhere on the planet. Of course, certain places get more earthquakes than others — Alaska, Southern California, the Philippines, Japan get more than say…
