I woukd like seismologist in general and USGS in perticular to answer following questions
1) Why major quakes occurs at places other than plate boundaries. ( fault line is not correct answer as there can not be relative movement inside a big plate)
2) why several major quakes on various plates ,not related to each other ,on a given date?
3) why deep quakes ? ( Subduction plate reaching 800 km depth without melting is not possible)
4) Why small quakes daily on same plate /locations
5) why ,sometimes aftershocks are bigger than main quakes?
6) Why often major quakes are accompanied by heavy rain
7) Why ,generally, major quakes occur at locations where Moon /Sun are at Zenith/Nadir or Rising Seiitng?
8) Why there is more land mass at both poles and minimum land mass at equator?
9) Why the there are more plate boundaries and more earthquakes between +and - 30 degree lattitudes
10) why the plates near Equator move faster and at poles move slower

Amit;
Here's an experiment you can perform.
Find a large paper plate. Stick a pin up thru the bottom at the center. Place something light
near the center (I used a small bottle cap).
Holding on to the pin, spin the plate and watch the lid slide to the edge. Label the pin "North Pole" and the edge "Equator".
Works every time.
Your idea is wrong.

Pl go for three dimensions model and have a look at Corrolaries effect due to Earth rotation.
Object moving northen hemisphere will move towards NE and in southern hemisphere towards SW.
I've been downloading all mag 6+ quakes from 2000 to present. There's about 3500 of them but the NEIC database format takes a lot of editing to be computer readable.
Do you have ephemerides for that time period? If so we can test your ideas. Who knows, you might be right after all.
