1. Where are things located
And 2. Why are they there
Your answer would be Tectonic.
Tectonic plates move in various directions, and move slowly. Due to the movement of tectonic plates the earth cracks, and shakes which is called an earch quake. Tectonic plates move constently everyday, and you can't feel it because it's slow. Wehn tectonic plates move quickly, the earth starts to shake. The most common places that have tectonic plates have a higher chance of having an earthquake, even a tusnami.
The real question is...can a box match?
The levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have been increasing due to the widespread burning of fossil fuels by the growing human populations.
