Chile and Japan.
In subduction zones.
Earthquake zones are typically located along tectonic plate boundaries, including regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Himalayas, the San Andreas Fault in California, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. These zones experience frequent seismic activity due to the movement and collision of tectonic plates.

Earthquake zones are primarily located at tectonic plate boundaries because this is where the Earth's tectonic plates interact, leading to stress accumulation and release that causes earthquakes. The movement of plates along these boundaries creates faults where seismic activity can occur due to the build-up and release of energy.
San Francisco, San Jose, Los angeles, Long Beach San Diego and Sacramento are also near earthquake zones but do not have nearly the level of threat as the 4 listed above
yes you can get active and inactive earthquakes zones.

No
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
Earthquake and volcano activity zones are typically found at tectonic plate boundaries, where plates interact and create geological activity. These boundaries include divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries, where plates either move apart, collide, or slide past each other. The movement and interaction of these plates lead to the formation of earthquakes and volcanic activity.
earthquakes are most likely to occur on the rim of tectonic plates
