Earthquakes are very common along transform boundaries. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault in California.
Yes! Earthquake epicentres and volcanoes both tend to be concentrated at or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.
Earthquake regions are commonly located along plate boundaries because this is where tectonic plates interact, causing stress to build up and eventually release as an earthquake. The movement and interaction of these plates create fault lines where earthquakes tend to occur.
Plate boundaries
subbduction zones
No, there is no relationship between the two.
Earthquakes that occur along plate boundaries
yes
Yes, it is true that the location of the earth's surface is directly above the focus of an earthquake is the epicenter a close correlation exists between epicenters and the plate boundaries.
No. The Haitian earthquake was caused by a transform boundary.

Tectonic plate boundaries
Earthquake foci can be used to mark the earths plate boundaries . The movement along the plate boundary causes the earthquake. Knowing where the foci is can help predict future earthquakes in that scientists can monitor the area for shifts in the plates.
