The plates are either moving past each other (transform boundary), toward each other (convergent boundary) or away from each other (divergent boundary). In some cases when there is a convergent boundary, one plate will be subducted under the other plate. During this process and the process occurring at a transform boundary, the plates don't slide easily past each other because they are jagged. The plates can get locked. Stress continues to build. Eventually, the stress becomes so great that the plates "pop" free. When that happens, there is a tremendous amount of energy released in the form of an earthquake.
Convergent plate boundaries where subduction occurs experience the deepest earthquakes. This is because in a subduction zone one (oceanic) lithospheric plate is being forced beneath another down into the mantle. Stresses build up within the descending pate at great depth causing earthquakes with focusses at much greater depths than earthquakes at other plate boundaries.
mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
Convergent boundaries.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Subduction zones have the deepest earthquakes.
some earthquakes happen inside the plate because they are dumb
I don't know?
Because they are generate and evolve from regions within the earth of crustal disturbance and lithospheric instability.

because the plate boundaries will always go along with it
Earthquakes and volcanoes are more common along tectonic plate boundaries.
mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
they are mainly conservative plate boundaries but can be all but constructive plate boundarys by callum 11
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
