It could be because of an earthquake belt it usually hits a region of new or fairly new mountains where there are also volcanoes. The west coast of South America has a lot of earthquakes because that continent moves westward over-neath the Pacific Ocean ground called the NAZCA Plate. There is a huge resistance causing some earthquakes and the Andes mountains to keep growing higher and right next to the coastline.
South America is located on the boundary of several tectonic plates, making it a seismically active region. The movement of these plates creates stress that is released as earthquakes. Additionally, the subduction of the Nazca Plate under the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench is a major cause of seismic activity in the region.
Some natural disasters in South America include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides, and hurricanes. These events can cause significant damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and human populations in the region.
There have been 17 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher so far in 2010.
Brazil is the largest country in South America so naturally it borders many countries as well as the South Atlantic Ocean.
Macha picchu is in Peru so therefore is in South America
Vancouver is located near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This tectonic activity creates a high potential for seismic activity, leading to earthquakes in the region.

Uruguay is located in the continent South America
Earthquakes can happen, but on small scales, the country does not lie on a tectonic plate, so they will not occur
they have an unfair goverment
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
No, Haiti is an island off the coast of South America.
No because Madagascar is not in-between two continental plates so they don't have many earthquakes.
Transform boundary. It's transform boundary because there are mainly earthquakes in the west coast so, the transform boundary is when the plates move horizontally past each other which cause earthquakes.
There are SO many different "Spanish" foods in North America. To the South of North America are all of the "Spanish" countries.
The countries in South America have produced many brilliant scholars over the years. Some countries have an extremely high educational standard - others not so high.
Because the Spanish controlled much of South America at one time, so many countries in south America, including Ecuador, speak Spanish.
The continent of South America consists of 12 independent nations and two territories of European countries (French Guiana and the Falkland Islands). There is no unified government that could have a president, prime minister, or both.
