For those who are curious about the #qld earthquake on Saturday morning here is an article in the @aunz.theconversation.com written by @deeninis.bsky.social and @mojtabarajabi.bsky.social - why does Australia get earthquakes when it isn’t close to any plate boundaries? Read to find out more.

Australia is a long way from the tectonic plate boundaries where most earthquakes happen – but we can’t escape the forces they create.
