On the Pacific Coast and where there are Volcanoes. Places like California, Mexico all the way down to the tip of South America. And also places like Korea, China, Philipines, and Japan. Why because of under ground volcanic explosions and the shifting rocks below the mantle and above the earth's crust. The earth needs to let out steam and if it does not it explodes either through volcanoes or shifting the earth to create an air pocket and let out steam. This is what I learned in Geology.
Earthquakes are most likely to occur at tectonic plate boundaries, where there is movement and interaction between the Earth's crustal plates. This includes regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Himalayas, and the San Andreas Fault. Areas near fault lines are also prone to earthquakes.
It has to do with stress in the earth's crust. There are more earthquakes where there is more stress. Most of this occurs at the boundaries between the tectonic plates as they slowly grind against each other.
Most geologic activity on Earth takes place along tectonic plate boundaries, where plates move and interact, leading to events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
Plate boundaries were first established based on the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity. Scientists noticed that most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur along specific zones on Earth's surface, which led to the identification of plate boundaries. These boundaries mark the edges of tectonic plates, where interactions such as subduction, spreading, and sliding take place.
Movements of the Earth's crust usually take place along plate boundaries, where tectonic plates interact. These interactions can result in events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Earth quakes tend to take place where the edges of tectonic plates meet. There is no one specific place where earth quakes happen, but California does have a lot of earthquakes. Earth quakes are caused by two plate sliding over each other, colliding into each other or pulling away from each other.

It takes place in Canada, most likely Toronto, Ontario

I would say Japan because it is separated into four pieces of the earths crust. in Tokyo Very small earthquakes happen every day
The main setting is Portland, Oregon.
We can't predict when an earthquake will happen, however: Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates 'slip'.
