What is a main shock?
A main shock is the largest earthquake in a sequence of earthquakes that occur in a specific region and time period. It is usually followed by aftershocks, which are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same area. The main shock can cause significant damage and is often used as a reference point for measuring the intensity of earthquakes in that sequence.
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?

Why are map showing locations of past earthquakes useful to scientists?
Earthquakes happen when the Earth's crust shifts violently. So if we know that an earthquake has happened in California, then scientist know that the crust under California is unstable, therefore making earthquakes more likely to happen there. Earthquakes can happen anywhere, but the tend to happen repeatedly in certain spots
