An oral or written account of previous earthquake activity and location in, near or on the meeting of tectonic or lithospheric plates may serve to predict the location of a future earthquake.
An Area along an active fault that has not had recent earthquake activity(:
A seismograph station is a location containing equipment that can measure earthquake activity.
Round the edges of the Pacific ocean.
The roads go around and through the the mountains. :)
Roads tend to be located in the valleys.

Scientists use devices called Seismographs to determine the epicenter of an earthquake. If 3 or more seismographs detect an earthquake, seismic wave activity can be measured and quantified and then cross-referenced with other data (the primary and secondary seismic waves) to determine the earthquake's location.

The focus of an earthquake is the location within the lithosphere where seismic energy is released when slippage first occurs along a fault line. The epicenter is the location on Earth's surface directly above the focus.

All fold mountains are found on convergent plate boundaries.
