Why don't earthquakes follow plate boundary lines exactly?

Earthquakes do occur along plate boundaries, but the movement of the plates is not uniform, causing stress to accumulate in areas off the main boundary lines. This stress can result in earthquakes happening slightly away from the boundaries in what are known as intraplate earthquakes. Additionally, faults within the plates can also generate earthquakes.

Explain what is happening at a convergent plate boundary?

At a convergent plate boundary, two tectonic plates are moving towards each other. As the plates collide, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
