No. Many faults, especially minor ones, are located far from plate boundaries.
Arabian Plate and Eurasian plate
California is located on the plate boundaries for the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.
No. Many plate boundaries are on the seafloor far from continents and several are well within continents.
Most volcanoes are located along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly at convergent and divergent boundaries. At convergent boundaries, one plate subducts beneath another, leading to magma formation and volcanic activity. At divergent boundaries, plates pull apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust, often resulting in volcanic eruptions. Additionally, some volcanoes, known as hotspot volcanoes, can form away from plate boundaries due to mantle plumes.

Yes, Maryland is located in the middle of the North American Plate, so there are no plate boundaries within the state. The closest plate boundary would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
The Ring of Fire is located along convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are colliding. This results in volcanoes, earthquakes, and the formation of mountain ranges around the Pacific Ocean.
The primary plate boundaries of tectonic plates are located around the continents.
California is located on the plate boundaries for the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.
