I believe it is California.
Movement in the Earth's crust (plates).
a earthquake happens whaen a plate moves that what happen when we had the christchurch earthquake happened.
According to available statistics, Washington is the state which produces the most apples.
Quantitive evidence is evidence that has to do with numbers. For example. the magnitude of an earthquake the time the earthquake occurred and the length of the earthquake are all types of quantitive evidence

Alaska is the most earthquake prone state, followed by California.
The states which are near to the edge of massive plates are earthquake prone regions
California
Alaska
Yes, there is a possibility of an earthquake in any state but some are less likely to have earthquakes than others.
The most earthquake prone part of the US is Alaska. California is the second most earthquake prone state and Hawaii third. According to the USGS National Earthquake Center, there is an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 or greater in the US once every few years.
The epicenter of an earthquake is located in the state where the earthquake originates.
Minnesota experienced an earthquake in 1975. This earthquake had a magnitude of 4.6 and was centered near Morris, Minnesota. It is one of the most significant earthquakes recorded in the state.
Alaska had the biggest earthquake in the US.
The Good Friday Earthquake on March 27, 1964 had its epicenter near Prince Wiliam Sound, Alaska. It lasted about 5 minutes, and caused 131 deaths, but it may not be true.This earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded, and the most powerful earthquake to have an epicenter in the United States.
Alaska holds the record as the most earthquake-prone state in the US due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates collide. Its northern location also exposes it to seismic activity from the North American plate.
California is the most earthquake-prone state in the US due to its location along the San Andreas Fault, which is notorious for producing large earthquakes. Other states with significant seismic activity include Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington.
