Where do earthquakes occur most often?

Earthquakes occur most often along tectonic plate boundaries, specifically at convergent boundaries where one plate sinks beneath another (subduction zones) or at transform boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally. Additionally, earthquakes can also occur within plates themselves due to intraplate stress and faulting.
