Not all they can occur inside plates due to slip on a fault or fracture, they can also occur after mass wasting events (landslides) and due to volcanic activity where as magma shifts underground it breaks up rocks causing small earthquakes often refered to as magmatic tremor.

Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?

Earthquakes are likely to occur along tectonic plate boundaries where there is movement and stress in the Earth's crust. Volcanoes are likely to occur at convergent plate boundaries, divergent plate boundaries, and hotspots where magma from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface.

What natural disaster would occur on tectonic plate boundaries?

Earthquakes are a common natural disaster that occur on tectonic plate boundaries. The movement of tectonic plates along faults can cause sudden release of energy, resulting in violent shaking of the Earth's surface.
