Because fat people live near fault lines and them waddling around causes the plates to shift
Depends on the areas. Although most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries. Earthquakes occur when tension is released from inside the crust. Plates do not always move smoothly alongside each other and sometimes get stuck. When this happens pressure builds up. When this pressure is eventually released, an earthquake tends to occur.
Earthquakes occurs more in certain regions because they are at the edge of tectonic plates. When the tectonic plated break apart, they cause a strong shake. Then, there is an aftershock. So, they occur in certain regions because they are at the edge of tectonic plates.
I hope that answered your question! =^D ♥♥♥
They are located near the middle of two plates, and as these plates shifts the seismic activity has a greater impact on them.
The particular area might be near plate boundaries, where earthquakes occur.
simply, because tectonic plates move due to lava currents making them hit each other causing earthquakes
It has to do with stress in the earth's crust. There are more earthquakes where there is more stress. Most of this occurs at the boundaries between the tectonic plates as they slowly grind against each other.
Because in some places there are tectonic plates that are colliding where others have little activity.
More earthquakes occur underwater than above land
Earthquakes can occur anywhere, although they are more common near the oceans than further inland.
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
Tsunamis can occur in more places than others because of their location. Usually, areas which see many underwater earthquakes are more prone to have tsunamis. The west coast and Hawaii are two places where tsunamis can take place.

Yes, it is quite common for earthquakes to occur under the sea. But they can also occur under the land. Any location on the Earth's surface (or close to the Earth's surface, to be more accurate) can have an earthquake, although of course, some locations are more prone to earthquakes than others.

They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
More Earthquakes occur on land.

Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.
No. The vast majority of earthquakes occur at or near plate boundaries.
Earthquakes can occur anywhere on Earth but large ones are more common at destructive plate bookbinderies.
