The majority of earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries. Because tectonic plates are always in motion toward, along or away from each other, huge stresses build up along or near these boundaries. When the stress reaches a point that the rocky structure of the plates cannot keep it in check, a failure along a fault triggers a quake.
Along the fault lines like the San Andreas fault
Earthquakes most occur in something called a fault zone
I don't really know the full answer, but there are some extremely big ones in California USA
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.

Indirectly. The movement of tectonic plates is the cause of the majority of earthquakes. Earthquakes can cause landslides.
In the Ring of Fire, a volcanically active fault line encircling the Pacific Ocean.
Many earthquakes are produced act converging plates. However a number of strong earthquakes also take place at transform boundaries where plates slide past one another, neither converging nor diverging. On rare occasions strong quakes will take place within a plate.

We can't predict when an earthquake will happen, however: Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates 'slip'.
No. Many earthquakes have no impact. The majority of earthquakes are so minor that they can't even be felt.
Japan, China, Italy

The majority of the settings take place in/around London, England.
Scientists have no power to control earthquakes, nor to specifically predict them, but a logical area that the earthquakes would take place is along the plates of the earths crust. (Their shifting leads to earthquakes)
I don't know go ask your mummy!
I think it would probably be china or japan.
