It's the only place they can occur. Over a continuous, solid part of the tectonic plate, there are no earthquakes - if the plate shifts, it shifts as one whole unit - no earthquake (maybe an ominous rumble or quiver, but that's about it). At boundaries, shift causes one edge to collide with another. Something's got to give. One or the other plate has to move up, down, forward or back. Any of those are called an "earthquake".
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Plate Boundaries
because the plate boundaries will always go along with it
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
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

Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries

hi
by mountains . (:
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
