Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.

Around the boundaries of continental plates. I assume by "happen" you mean erupt, in which case; above "hot spots" in the earth's surface, these hot spots are due to large magma chambers below. If TL;DR, Google Magma Chamber.

4-5 earthquakes occur each day in Yellowstone National Park which is about 2000 a year. Volcanic eruptions other than specifically where, they occur mostly around the plate boundaries.

Earthquakes dont specifically happen in certain region, they are caused by the movement of the tectonic plates and the world is covered in tectonic plates.
