Tectonic earthquakes are more common than volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by the shifting and breaking of rocks in the Earth's crust along tectonic plate boundaries, whereas volcanic earthquakes are associated with volcanic activity and occur as magma moves beneath the surface.
Regions with high seismic activity, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, the San Andreas Fault in California, the East African Rift, and the Himalayan region, are locations where a large number of faults are present. These areas are characterized by tectonic plate boundaries and high levels of geological instability, leading to frequent earthquakes and fault movements.
Shallow earthquakes occur within the top 70 kilometers of the Earth's crust, known as the seismogenic zone. These earthquakes are typically associated with transform plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and some convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates interact and generate seismic activity.
Tectonic plate boundaries.
No. Everything on earth is on at least one tectonic plate. It is the boundaries between different plates that see the most earthquake activity.

Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes

no not all
yes

Tectonic plate boundaries are known for its earthquakes and volcano eruptions due to the constant shifting
Tectonic activities are processes related to the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust. This includes activities such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. These activities are driven by the movement of tectonic plates and can result in the formation of various geologic features.
Tectonic activity has a number of consequences, which include continental drift, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
