there are 100's of small earthquakes each year in this area, dosen't that releave stress on the fault lines?
Quoting: Storm 2 come No, that is not how Plate Tectononics work. The smaller earthquakes do not relieve stresses, they are simply a reaction to the shifting. The seizmic reactions are results from the energy made during the shifting of the continental plates at plate boundaries.
