Why are earthquakes most likely to occur?

when earthquakes occur they're most likely on or near tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are the different segments of the earths crust.

Basically a shift in the earth. Because both earthquakes and volcanoes are both linked to tectonic plates, earthquakes can also set off tremors than can make some volcanoes erupt!
