Along fault lines. Major fault lines occur where the tectonic plates meet each other. The plates will either rub against each other or one will force the other underneath it, which commonly causes earthquakes.
Earthquakes most commonly occur at or near tectonic plate boundaries.

tectonic plate boundaries
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
An earthquake can occur at divergent, convergent, or transform plate boundaries. However, transform boundaries are most commonly associated with earthquakes due to the intense stress caused by the plates sliding past each other.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Earthquakes occur most often along tectonic plate boundaries, specifically at convergent boundaries where one plate sinks beneath another (subduction zones) or at transform boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally. Additionally, earthquakes can also occur within plates themselves due to intraplate stress and faulting.
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
