除了地震集中的地区外，大陆还有一些相对安全的内陆部分，因为这些板块远离板块边界，因此在这些地点发生轻微地震。这些地震虽然规模较小，但并不常见，因为它们的可能发生和返回时间是很难遵循的。
澳大利亚经历欧亚、菲律宾和太平洋板块碰撞的地震。其结果是，压缩应力被创建在印度-澳大利亚板块的内部部分，这些应力增加额外的大小，因为它们也被释放时，地震发生。平均而言，澳大利亚每年面临80次地震，其数值均大于或等于3。超过6级的地震被证明是非常有害的，而且这种震级在澳大利亚每五年发生一次。
在南澳大利亚，是阿德莱德市所遇到的最大的地震灾害由于在东西方的方向缓慢移动的速率为0.1毫米/年。这种测量的变化可以帮助在很大程度上预测即将到来的地震。
在澳大利亚地震事件的历史时间线的标识，其中一个最大的地震发生在米贝里的1941和西澳大利亚7.2的近似值。然而，有了一个无人的位置的小损失。不久之后，地震发生在人口稠密的地区内，1968 Meckering（西澳大利亚南部）的建筑性能造成严重危害。这次地震的震级录得6.8。（澳大利亚地球科学，2014）
英国地震：
与澳大利亚属于地震带的类别相比，英国每年都有20到30次地震发生，这是一个有利的事件。然而，精密和专用设备估计大约有数百个小地震的一年。这些较小的地震是无害的，因为它们不会造成损害。然而，英国经历了一些不良地震，并在财产和财产方面遭受了潜在的损失。
Apart from the regions of greater earthquake concentration, there are some comparatively safer interior parts of continents as these are farther from plate boundaries and thus mild earthquakes take place at such locations. These earthquakes, though have a smaller scale number, are not that common as their probable occurrence and return time is hard to follow.
Australia experiences earthquakes due to the collision of Eurasian, Philippine and Pacific plates. As a result, compressive stresses are created in the internal parts of the Indo-Australian plate and these stresses add extra magnitude as they are also let out when earthquake occurs. On an average, Australia faces 80 earthquakes annually which fall into a numerical value of greater than or equal to 3.0. Earthquakes greater than the magnitude of 6.0 are proved to be very harmful and such a magnitude occurs in Australia every five years.
Within South Australia, Adelaide is the city which has encountered the greatest earthquake disasters due to its slow movement in the east-western direction at a rate of 0.1 mm/year. Such measurements of changes can help in the forecast of the upcoming earthquakes to a large extent.
The historical time-line of earthquake events in Australia identifies that one of the largest earthquakes occurred in 1941 in Meeberrie in Western Australia with approximate value of 7.2. However, there were little losses as it was an unpopulated location. Soon after, an earthquake event in 1968 within the populated area of Meckering (southern Western Australia) caused serious harm to building properties. The magnitude of this earthquake was recorded to be 6.8. (Geoscience Australia, 2014)
1.1.2 Earthquakes in UK:
In comparison to Australia which falls into the category of earthquake zone, UK is at an advantage with the occurrence of prominent earthquake events (event that can be felt by humans) roughly in between 20 to 30 earthquakes per year. However, the sophisticated and special-purpose devices have estimated around hundreds of small earthquakes around the year. These smaller earthquakes are harmless as they cause no damage. However, there are some harmful earthquakes that the UK has experienced and suffered potential losses in terms of property and estates.
