At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
The Haiti earthquake that occurred in 2010 was a result of a strike-slip boundary where the North American Plate and Caribbean Plate slid past each other horizontally along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone.
The boundary of an earthquake refers to the area where two tectonic plates meet and release built-up stress in the form of seismic activity. This boundary can be a subduction zone, a transform fault, or a collision zone, depending on the type of plate interaction. Earthquakes often occur along these boundaries due to the movement and interaction of the tectonic plates.
subbduction zones
The earthquake in Haiti was caused by a strike-slip fault along the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. Strike-slip faults occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing seismic activity.

No. "Mega earthquakes" sometimes known as megathrust earthquakes tend to occur at or near convergent plate boundaries. The UK is not located near to a convergent (or any other type of plate boundary) so will not experience an earthquake of this type.

The Kansu earthquake took place on the Weihe Basin fault, not on a plate boundary. The Weihe Basin is a normal dip-slip fault.
