On average, there are roughly 20,000 - 30,000 recorded earthquakes around the world every year.
The USGS National Earthquake Information Center estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world each year but many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have very small magnitudes.

The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
alot of earthquakes
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.

Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
