Why do earthquakes mostly happen along tectonic plates boundaries?

Earthquakes mostly happen along tectonic plate boundaries because these are where the plates interact and their movements cause stress to build up in the Earth's crust. When this stress is released suddenly, it causes the ground to shake, resulting in an earthquake. These boundaries are also where faults are more likely to occur, further increasing the likelihood of earthquakes.


Do earthquakes and volcanoes appear worldwide?

Yes but there are areas that it is much more likely to happen and areas it is not likely to happen. Of course this is because of tectonic plates and when they shift and in what direction they bump into each other. The earthquakes and volcanoes are more likely to happen along the Ring of Fire which shows where the tectonic plates are. It is a bit hard to explain though. My final answer is no it is not impossible but in some spots it is very unlikley, in others it is more likley. If you want to learn more, try searching tectonic plates in wikipedia or google.
