Where does earthquakes happen most?
Earthquakes happen most along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. This is because the movement of tectonic plates causes stress to build up until it is released in the form of an earthquake. Areas where two plates meet, such as subduction zones or transform faults, are especially prone to earthquakes.
