Japan is frequently affected by earthquakes. Additionally, the United States has area affected by earthquakes.
earthquakes usually occur at tectonic plate boundaries

Earthquakes
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
A small area of a country or state where earthquakes occur frequently.
Earthquakes occur frequently along the edges of fault lines. This is caused when two plates collide into or slide past each other. This will send shockwaves around the epicenter, resulting in an earthquake.
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
Nepal is located in the Himalayas, where the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate. As these plates press together enormous sections of rock slip along fault lines to produce earthquakes.
That is impossible to tell. Smaller earthquakes occur more frequently, to the extent that the majority of earthquakes are too small to event be felt. Without a sophisticated seismic network, many earthquakes will not even be detected.
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.

Yes. Nepal is prone to earthquakes, landslides, and avalanches.
Japan is frequently affected by earthquakes. Additionally, the United States has area affected by earthquakes.
Moonquakes ("earthquakes" on the moon) do occur, but they happen less frequently and have smaller magnitudes than earthquakes on the Earth. It appears they are related to the tidal stresses associated with the varying distance between the Earth and Moon. They also occur at great depth, about halfway between the surface and the center of the moon.
