Japanese have one of the highest because earthquakes happen there frequently. So no Japan does not.
Do earthquakes happen everywhere volcanoes are?
They do occur where volcanoes are, but it is not because of the volcanoes itself. It is because under the earth's surface there are tectonic plates (plates that make up the earth's crust) that shift, and occasionally collide into one another. This is what causes the ground to shake. This shaking is what we interpret as earthquakes.
How many earthquakes occur in one minute?
The answer depends on the magnitude of the earthquake. Over the last 20 years there have been approx 4 million earthquakes annually which is equivalent to an average of 8 every minute. Earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater occur, on average, 0.00003 times a minute.

How can studying plate tectonics and observing that earthquakes occur along these plate boundaries help people?
Studying plate tectonics and observing that earthquakes occur along these plates can help people so they have a better understanding of why earthquakes happen and how we can try and predict when one will happen by looking at past earthquakes to find out how they occured and which plate boundaries they occured to try and predict when and if one will happen again (also by looking at the movement of the plates).
