Earthquakes result from the collision of tectonic plates, including subducted oceanic plates or buckling continental plates.
A large number occur around the Pacific Plate, in eastern Asia and the western Americas (California, Chile). They also occur in the Mediterranean, which is caught between the African and European plates, in the Middle East, and in southern Asia where India is pushing up the Himalayas in Asia.
They usually occur where two plates of the earth meet. Plate of the earth shift from time to time causing the land near it to shake. Where the plates meet can also be called a fault line.

Earthquakes mostly occur in places where there is a Fault Line. Plates under the Earth's surface move and push against each other.
Some of these places are:
along fault lines such as California areas
conservative plate margins
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
Earthquakes occur most in the Indonesian area.
Most earthquakes occur where the edges of Earth's plates are.
Alaska is the most prone to earthquakes in the US.
The most earthquakes are mostly occurs on land
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
A small area of a country or state where earthquakes occur frequently.
Japan is frequently affected by earthquakes. Additionally, the United States has area affected by earthquakes.
Earthquakes occur most in the Indonesian area.
Earthquakes occur frequently along the edges of fault lines. This is caused when two plates collide into or slide past each other. This will send shockwaves around the epicenter, resulting in an earthquake.
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Most earthquakes occur where the edges of Earth's plates are.
most earthquakes occur in the Pacific Ring of Fire. edit: I believe the answer you're looking for is that most earthquakes occur on the boundaries of tectonic plates.
where does earthquakes most occur
Alaska is the most prone to earthquakes in the US.
