Our Uk fault lines have a different cause
Ancient fault lines that crisscross crust beneath Britain | World news | The Guardian
"in Britain, earthquakes are driven by the enormous stresses inflicted by the shifting Eurasian plate in the Atlantic Ocean. This "continental drift" squeezes Britain from the north-west, building up stresses in the crust only relieved by slippage at fault lines. Earthquakes are more common in the west of Britain, with north-west Scotland, Wales, and the West Midlands the most active." |
I don't buy its from the Atlantic, its the frogs n krauts to blame.
