Hi there!

Earthquakes most often occur on fault lines and on edges of tectonic plates. This is due to the plates moving, causing the earthquakes. In the US, most earthquakes occur in midwestern and eastern areas

Hope this helps!! :)

How many lines of longitude pass through the equator
Gennadij [26K]

There is no set number of "lines" of longitude.  You're free
to draw as few or as many 'lines' to mark the 360 degrees
of longitude on the Earth's surface.

However many lines you decide to draw on your map or globe,
they ALL cross the equator.
