Is it true that the continents close to the tectonic plates will have earthquakes?

No. Everything lies on a tectonic plate. Cities that lie near where 2 tectonic plates meet have earthquakes. Tectonic Plates expand and contract, and it is often that they expand and rub against each other. As they rub, they may overlap and cause an earthquake. Obvioulsy, a city directly above where they overlap will feel it more than a city which is in the middle of a tectonic plate.
