Earthquake zones are primarily distributed along tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's lithospheric plates interact. These zones are categorized into three main types: convergent boundaries, where plates collide; divergent boundaries, where plates separate; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other. The most seismically active regions, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, experience frequent earthquakes due to the movement of these plates. Additionally, intraplate earthquakes can occur away from boundaries, but they are generally less common.
