They occur because of nature. Volcanic eruptions signal off an earthquake because normally a volcanic eruption and an earthquake are on a fault line/edge of a tectonic plate.
Earthquakes occur most often along the boundaries of tectonic plates.
it has nothing to do with population, but they happen very often in highly populated places such as Japan and San Fransico
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.

Earthquakes occur on the west side of the United states of America. The state of California is often hit by earthquakes. This is because there is a fault line cause by the tectonic plates on the western coast of America.
Because fat people live near fault lines and them waddling around causes the plates to shift

Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
Japan and Indonesia have it quite often.
The edge of the oceanic and continental plates.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.

Yes. Not very often, though.
California has a lot of fault lines, that's why.
There were at least 13 minor earthquakes in or near Sydney in the last 10 years. The magnitude of these 13 earthquakes ranged from 1.6 to 2.5. Earthquakes can occur in almost every part of Australia but occur much less often than along tectonic plates north and east of Australia.
