They are mostly formed along tectonic plate boundaries.
Most of the US sits on the North American plate.
Arizona is mostly located on the North American tectonic plate. This plate covers a large part of North America, including the western part of the United States where Arizona is situated.
The tectonic plate primarily comprised of seafloor crust is the Pacific Plate. It is one of the largest tectonic plates and is mostly covered by oceanic crust formed at mid-ocean ridges.
The three tectonic plates that contain mostly SIMA (silicate and magnesium-rich rock) are the Pacific Plate, the Philippine Sea Plate, and the Juan de Fuca Plate. These plates are characterized by their oceanic crust composition, which is primarily made up of SIMA.
They are the result of the subduction processes related to plate tectonic movements, specifically they mostly form where one oceanic tectonic plate subducts another one.
Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries.
