Most earthquakes occur along the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is along the top half of the pacific plate.
+++
Perhaps the second major area is the Eastern Mediterranean and neighbouring countries, involving a complex of continental plates, with NE Africa rifting and the Mediterranean closing.
"Top half of the Pacific plate". Actually, the Pacific floor consists of several plates, with some being subducted below SE Asia, and some below the Americas.
What else can I help you with?
Which continent or continents seem to be totally safe from earthquakes?
Antartica most likely
What is most damaged by earthquakes?
Most earthquakes are caused by plates sliding aginst each other.
Do most earthquakes generate tsunamis?
yes because most earthquakes are under the sea
What two plates cause most of Alaska's earthquakes?
The Pacific and North American plates cause most of Alaska's earthquakes.
On the West Coast of United States is most likely to get earthquakes?
Yes, the west coast of the United States is the most likely to get earthquakes.
Which continent or continents seem to be totally safe from earthquakes?
Antartica most likely
Has Antarctica ever had an earthquake?
Antarctica is the quietest continent in terms of earthquakes. Earthquakes have occurred, but are infrequent. What is common on the continent are ice-quakes, which are not as 'moving' as earthquakes, but are frequent.
What causes continent to grow outward?
Earthquakes
Where would find the most earthquakes at an ocean-continent boundary?
Asia, then Africa the, Europe, Australia, and finally North America
Does Asia have earthquakes or volcanoes?

What continent or continents seem to be totally safe from earthquakes?
florida
Are earthquakes significant in Australian history?
No they are not, relatively few earthquakes have ever been recorded in Australia as it is a very stable continent with no active volcanoes and few if no earthquakes.
What place does not have earthquakes?
Antarctica is a continent that experiences very few earthquakes due to its location on a stable part of the Earth's crust.
Are earthquakes most common where two continental plates spread apart?
No, earthquakes are most common at plate boundaries, such as where two plates collide (convergent boundary) or slide past each other (transform boundary). Earthquakes at divergent boundaries, where plates spread apart, are generally less frequent and less powerful.
Can an earthquake destroy a continent?
No, an earthquake cannot destroy a continent. Earthquakes are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, and while they can cause significant damage locally, they do not have the capacity to destroy an entire continent.
What 2 states have the smallest number of earthquakes?
If its in US, Florida and North Dakota are reported to have very less number of earthquakes. Also Antarctica is a continent which has very fewer earthquakes.
Where most earthquakes where found?
most earthquakes are found around america
