    Finland is not close enough to the edges of tectonic plates, so if we get earthquakes here at all, they’re barely noticeable.

      …and caused by the sea bed rising after it was compressed because of the weight of the glacier during the ice age

        Being in the middle of the large and relatively stable Eurasian plate does help, though. The Mediterranean region, being closer to the edge region, does experience quite a bit more, though, and some strong ones have historically been felt all the way up here, too.
