Although earthquakes can occur anywhere on the planet with little or no warning, the strongest earthquakes occur near the plate boundaries, as the plates converge (collide), diverge (move away from another)
Shallow focus earthquakes are associated with divergent and transform plate boundaries. These earthquakes typically occur within the top 70 kilometers of the Earth's crust and are caused by the movement of tectonic plates against each other.
Thunderstorms and earthquakes are caused by different phenomena and are not usually directly related. Thunderstorms are caused by unstable atmospheric conditions, while earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. However, some studies suggest that changes in atmospheric conditions associated with thunderstorms may trigger small and shallow earthquakes.
The most violent earthquakes are generally associated with subduction zones where tectonic plates collide and one is forced beneath the other. These subduction zones can produce very large and destructive earthquakes, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Spreading centers, on the other hand, usually produce smaller earthquakes due to the gradual separation of tectonic plates.
California is most commonly associated with earthquakes in the lower 48 US states. California sits along the San Andreas Fault, a major tectonic boundary that is known for producing large earthquakes. Washington also experiences earthquakes, but they are less frequent and severe compared to California.
No, tsunamis do not have aftershocks. Aftershocks are typically associated with earthquakes and are smaller earthquakes that follow the main event. Tsunamis are large ocean waves usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions.
Faults
Well, the weakest earthquakes form at divergent boundaries, therefore, weaker earthquakes form where plates pull apart from each other
Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.

yes earthquakes do

there are usually alot of earthquakes/volcanic eruptions in Italy.
