Well basiclly everywhere where there are faults and plate boundaries. So basiclly anywhere in the world. Since earthquakes are created by stress in faults or plate boundaries being released as seismic waves then everywhere in the world is at risk of an earthquake. Some places such as California, Japan, Indonesia, China, Greece, India, Nepal, Alaska, etc. are at higher risk of a major or minor earthquake mostly because there near or on a plate boundary thats more explosive or dangerous. As for everywhere else in the world many are at risk of small quakes such as 3's or 4's which are a decent size. So the answer to your question is that everyplace in the world is at risk of an earthquake.

F the trends in the population pyramids continue, what will the population of germany look like in 20 or 50 years

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Germany is well known to have big problems with the aging population, and its very low fertility rate. This contributes to a highly deformed population pyramid, where the lowest part of the pyramid is becoming thinner and thinner, while the middle section is significantly increasing, as well as the upper part of the pyramid that becomes thicker and thicker because of the long lifespan in the country.

In the next twenty years, Germany will face stagnation in the number of population, and this will be because the minorities (mainly the Muslims) will be balancing the numbers because of their very high fertility rate. In the next 50 years, with this trend, we will witness a big drop in the numbers of the ethnic Germans, and very big increase in the numbers of the minorities (mainly Muslims) which will also contribute to the country's population to start to increase again.
