For the most part, yes. Plate boundaries are where they either converge, or diverge, or transform against each other. If they Diverge, that opens a space between the two spaces, letting lava flow out and create more sea floor. When they Converge (come together), that makes a ridge (although not necessarily a volcano).
The Ring of Fire is a prime example of quakes and volcanoes appearing on plate boundaries. The 'Ring' is actually on plates, if you look at a map of Plate Boundaries (see Related Links) you can see that.
What else can I help you with?
Where do most earthquakes and volcanos occure?
they are formed along the crustal movements of the earth.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Where do earthquakes and volcanos occur?
Volcanoes tend to form at convergent tectonic plate boundaries where subduction is occurring (such as the western coast of South America) and at divergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates are moving apart (e.g. the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge and Iceland). Earthquakes also occur at convergent boundaries and in fact these tend to cause the strongest earthquakes. Earthquakes also occur at transform boundaries (such as the San Andreas fault) however these do not tend to cause the formation of volcanoes. So to find volcanoes and large earthquakes you should be looking at convergent plate boundaries where subduction is occurring.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia

Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Earthquakes and occur at plate boundaries?
Volcanoes
Do earthquakes mostly occur at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries
Do earthquakes often occur at at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
Why do volcanos and earthquakes occur where they do?
Because they are on the boarders of a tectonic plate, which collide together and create them
Where do most of earth volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
along plate boundaries
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
Yes, earthquakes can occur in plate interiors, especially in areas where older faults or weak zones exist within the plate. These intraplate earthquakes are less common than those that occur at plate boundaries, but they can still cause significant damage due to the unexpected nature of their occurrence. Examples include the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the central United States and the seismic activity in the stable interior of the Indian Plate.
What is interpolate earthquake?
Earthquakes that occur along plate boundaries
