    What is the capital of Egypt? ( Cairo )

    1 Answer

    1. Quizzma Team

      The correct answer is B. An intraplate earthquake.

      Explanation: Intraplate earthquakes occur within tectonic plates, rather than at the boundaries. Areas like Washington DC and Missouri are not located near tectonic plate boundaries but can still experience earthquakes due to stresses accumulated within the plate itself. These types of earthquakes can be unpredictable and vary in intensity.
