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.

Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?

earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.

Shock waves that are felt on the earth's surface as the results of faulting in the crust are called?

Seismic waves or tremors

What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?

Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps

What are the 3 different types of rock movement in earthquakes?

The three different types of rock movement in earthquakes are normal (extensional) faulting, reverse (compressional) faulting, and strike-slip (lateral) faulting. Normal faulting occurs when rocks are pulled apart, reverse faulting involves rocks being pushed together, and strike-slip faulting involves horizontal movement along a fault line.
