A Question to plate tectonics

 Here is a question for plate tectonic.

While explaining the major Earthquakes ,it is satiated that , when the stresses are built up over two plate boundaries, the pales move with respect to one another and Earthquake occurs .

The time required to built up this much stresses over plate boundaries could be hundred of years .

 (A) Now here are the number of major quakes at PNG from 1st January 2000 till today.( Area selected is -9.846 to +1.706 Latitude and 120.023 to 153.105 Longitudes)

1) 6+ quakes ....297

2) 7+ quakes.... 32

3) 8+ quakes....1

So ,now question is ...

In a span of 24 years ,how come the stresses built up so frequently ,to produce 32 quakes of magnitude 7+

( B) Similarly at Japan region ( 26.385 to 54.542 latitudes , 126.914 to 155.742 Longitudes) . The number of quakes during 1st January 2000 till today are 

1) 6+ quakes ..  354

2) 7+ quakes  ..38

3)8+ quakes......4

4) 9+ quakes ....1

So how the number of major quakes and stresses built up slowly can be expalined

plate tectonics is nonsense, it doesn't match real-world evidence. earth expansion explains what we find in fossil records and satellite images.

What evidence do we have to show the earth is expanding?

Hmmm No response? No evidence then.
