5. Is there a reason why so few earthquakes happened between midnight and 04.00 UTC?


Earthquakes happen all around the clock. If you can show that fewer earthquakes occur between midnight and 4 AM, then this would be worthy of a scientific publication, as it is not common knowledge. Making an observation like this is what science is all about, but you will have to prove to other scientists that what you say is true.
