Well, 6 million years was a "slight" exaggeration to get a point across. The Netherlands doesn't really have any quakes due to faultlines (there aren't any). But it does have the occasional quake due to coal/gas mining. Where the ground compacts or something like it.
LOL @ NL creating artificial earthquake faults because they're Jealous of California's natural seismic events. ;-)
Sorry for being jealous ;) At least we create them and in California they just happen. Mark
