why are there no earthquakes in eastern portion of north and south America

Answers

Answered by jalynandi85

Eastern North America has older rocks, some of which formed hundreds of millions of years before those in the West. Faults in these older rocks have also had more time to heal, which allows seismic waves to cross them more effectively when an earthquake occurs.
