Earthquakes can occur in virtually any location around the world, although they are more common in regions along tectonic plate boundaries. Notable earthquake-prone areas include the Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean. Overall, there are thousands of places that have experienced earthquakes, with varying magnitudes and frequencies. However, specific statistics on the exact number of locations are difficult to determine due to the natural variability of seismic activity.
