Most of the world's earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly in regions known as the "Ring of Fire," which encircles the Pacific Ocean. This area is characterized by high seismic activity due to the movement and interaction of several tectonic plates. Additionally, earthquakes can occur inland along fault lines, but coastal regions and areas near plate boundaries experience the highest frequency of seismic events.

What are The worlds most dangerous earthquakes where does it occur why does it occur when does it occur and at what places and times?

Some of the world's most dangerous earthquakes have occurred in regions like the Ring of Fire, which includes areas around the Pacific Ocean due to tectonic plate movements. Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually along fault lines. The timing and location of earthquakes are unpredictable, but regions prone to seismic activity experience them more frequently. Monitoring systems help in predicting and preparing for potential earthquakes, but exact timing cannot be forecasted accurately.
