Tectonic activity occurs on the cracks of the Earth, they are cracked by earthquakes. Imagine this, take all the land masses/oceans on the face of the Earth off of it, and imagine all the locations of earthquakes pinpointed on the "bald Earth". I f you connect those dots you get the tectonic plates which are constantly moving, just so slow we cannot recognize it. There are 7-8 main tectonic plates depending on how you classify them.
I hope you find this answer helpful,

Where are tsunamis most likely to occur?
Tsunamis are most likely to occur along areas of high tectonic activity, which is the trigger of Tsunamis in the first place. Areas of high tectonic activity are near the edges of plates, like the Pacific-North American plate and the Indian plate.
What plate tectonic settings does regional metamorphism occur?
Destructive plate boundaries.
What is the name given to notorious area around the pacific plate associated with considerable tectonic activity?
The Pacific Plate's Ring of Fire, an active volcano, is the source of considerable tectonic activity.
What regions do earthquakes mostly occur?
earthquakes usually occur at tectonic plate boundaries
What is tectonic activities?
Tectonic Activity- activity that occurs as a result of tectonic plate movement, for example: earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building in general.
Why do volcanic activities occur at zones of crustal activity?
Because of the plate tectonic

Would you expect plate tectonic activity similar to that on the earth to occur on the Moon?
No. The moon does not have a molten core for the plates to "float" on.
How does tectonic plate movement occur?
because
Where do valcanos usually occur?
Volcanoes occur on tectonic plate boundaries
What plate tectonic settings does regional metamorphism occur?
Destructive plate boundaries.
Where do tectonic plates interact?
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
Does Uranus have tectonic plate activity?
No. Earth is the only known planet with plate tectonics.
What is the name given to notorious area around the pacific plate associated with considerable tectonic activity?
The Pacific Plate's Ring of Fire, an active volcano, is the source of considerable tectonic activity.
Where do volcanos most likely occur?
Volcanoes usually occur on a major tectonic plate boundaries. Most occur near the edges of a plate, some occur in the middle of the plate.
