Huh I didn’t think Australia had earthquakes
- senectus1 5y agonot very often no. we're geologically very stable. (but also as a whole continent moving quite a lot)
- shirro 5y agoWe don't get big ones with high frequency as we are not on a tectonic boundary. No active volcanoes either. There are faults and stresses within the continental plate but they mainly produce smaller earthquakes with lower frequency but they do happen. Given the population density people rarely feel them. So even a moderate quake is a huge novelty. I can understand why people are so excited and sharing it on social media. I am probably about 700km away and I only barely felt it and it might be the only earthquake I feel in my entire life.
