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.
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.
along 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.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Earthquakes occur primarily along tectonic plate boundaries, where the Earth's lithospheric plates interact. They can happen in three main ways: convergent boundaries (plates collide), divergent boundaries (plates move apart), and transform boundaries (plates slide past each other). The stress accumulated from these movements is released as seismic waves, resulting in ground shaking. Earthquakes can also occur within tectonic plates, away from boundaries, due to faults or other geological processes.
Earthquakes that occur along plate boundaries
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
