It has to do with the plates under us opening and then closing..?

They said on Sky News and BBC news that heat caused the plates to move apart and then back together causing the earthquake.

As you know UK doe's not collide with any other plates.

We have fault lines still, and earthquakes can happen anywhere.

Isn't that what plate colliding is? It shakes as they close again.

First Quake - When they collide or what ever
After Shock - When they straighten out :P

Dunno if this has already been said as I cba to read the thread...

On the news they said it was the biggest one in britains history. 5.2 on the richter scale or something similar.

It really baffles people why we are the country that has the most earthquakes when we aren't even on the edge of a plate.
