Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
Most earthquakes happen where the edges of the plates crash into each other.

Earthquakes happen everywhere, but they're more frequent in some areas then others. It's quicker to explain where Earthquakes happen and let you work out where they're less likely to happen. Earthquakes are most common at tectonic plate boundaries, that is, where different plates meet. The largest events usually happen where two plates are colliding. About 90% of the world's earthquakes happen along the ring of fire. The ring of fire is roughly where the Pacific Ocean is near to or touches land. It's caused by tectonic plate movement/collisions.
Although they do not happen very often in South Dakota, earthquakes do happen. The most recent earthquake, 3.5 magnitude, was on Thursday, December 12, 2013, near Rapid City, SD. To track earthquakes in South Dakota, see the related links.
Everyone would scream and most likely die, for there have never been earthquakes in Florida.
earthquakes mostly happen around plate boundaries!
Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere, but they are most likely at the plate boundaries.
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
Chile of course
near subduction zones
Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries.
Earthquakes can generally occur anywhere in the world, but most happen at plate boundaries.
Yes, but most happen underwater.
at the edge of tectonic plates
because of its tectonic plate
no because most occur in the water
Earthquakes hardly ever happen in the middle of plates because the is no fault-line to move. The most common earthquakes in the middle of plates are because of Volcanoes.
