The earth's crust is split into pieces called tectonic plates: Earthquakes occur most often at the boundaries between these tectonic plates, and less frequently in the middle of them. If you want to know more about why this is the case I'd suggest reading up on tectonic boundaries and the interactions between adjacent plates.
In terms of places where earthquakes are infrequent, the UK is a good example because it sits nicely on the Eurasian plate a good distance from the edges.
What else can I help you with?
Area along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently but where strong earthquakes have happened before?

What area along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently but where strong earthquakes have happened before?

Would a strong earthquake be more likely to occur along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently or along a fault where several minor earthquakes have happened recently explain?
it is more likely to have a strong earthquake where few recent earthquakes have happened
Area along a fault where relatively few earthquakes occur?
Seismic gaps.
Where are the earthquakes impact zones?
There is not a definition for this term. It seems that an impact zone would be the area where the earthquake happened.

How many earthquakes have happened in Wyoming from the first to last?
Earthquakes occur quite frequently in Wyoming, especially in the area of Yellowstone National Park. About 1,000 to 3,000 earthquakes strike Yellowstone each year, according to the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. Also, there is no way to know how many earthquakes from the first one, as there is no record of the first earthquake in Wyoming.
