It all depends on the plates that are constantly moving underground. If they move with enough force, it can be felt on the surface. It just depends on where it is that the plates are moving.
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.
Yes, earthquakes often occur near coastlines, especially in regions where tectonic plates interact, such as subduction zones. These areas can generate significant seismic activity and, in some cases, lead to tsunamis. The proximity to the ocean can amplify the impact of an earthquake on coastal communities. Notable examples include earthquakes along the Pacific Ring of Fire, which frequently affect coastal areas.
because the way the plates move cause different processes to occur and covergent boundaries such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and rivers/oceans
Pacif Ocean
Tsunamis often occur around destructive plate boundaries because these areas are where tectonic plates collide, leading to significant geological activity. When one plate subducts beneath another, it can cause sudden vertical displacement of the ocean floor, displacing large volumes of water and generating powerful waves. Additionally, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions associated with these boundaries can further trigger tsunamis. The energy released during such events can result in waves that travel across oceans, impacting distant coastlines.
no
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Oceans
Earthquakes could occur anywhere--on land or in sea. If they occur in the ocean, then they could trigger a tsunami warning.
Please more specific, as earthquakes occur worldwide.

The weakest earthquakes, measuring less than 2.0 on the Richter scale, can occur anywhere around the world. These earthquakes are generally not felt by people and are often only detected by seismographs.
Pacif Ocean
The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
