Earthquake Epicentres in Australia 1841-2000 1:10m

Abstract

Australia is not on the edge of a tectonic plate so why do we have earthquakes? The Indian-Australian plate is being pushed north and is colliding with the Eurasian, Philippine and Pacific plates. This causes stresses to build up in the interior of the plate which is released during earthquakes.
