Answer:

The tectonic plates are continuously moving and earthquakes are happening all the time.

Explanation:

In areas that are far from these plate boundaries and faults, earthquakes are less likely to be felt. The size of the earthquake is mostly unnoticeable. Bigger earthquakes happen with a build of tension that is suddenly released. It does not happen as often because it takes time to build up the pressure.
