Near subduction zones
Most earthquakes happen at a place where 2 tectonic plates touch.
Earthquakes occur mostly in regions with stress between continental plates. This is the case in the Middle East, and along the rim around the Pacific Ocean (where it also causes volcanic activity in the regions, known as the "Ring of Fire").
Earthquakes can sometimes be predicted by monitoring the movement along faults, smaller shifts that could be the precursors of a major shift of adjacent rock masses.
In California Snice The Fronts Are Movingg Past Each Other That Causes Most EarthQuakess Tew happen .
Most earthquakes happen on or next to the fault line.
90% of the worlds earthquakes occur at tectonic plate boundaries.
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
near subduction zones
Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates hit into each other. Causing an earthquake. ~DDG~
Earthquakes happen everywhere, but they're more frequent in some areas then others. It's quicker to explain where Earthquakes happen and let you work out where they're less likely to happen. Earthquakes are most common at tectonic plate boundaries, that is, where different plates meet. The largest events usually happen where two plates are colliding. About 90% of the world's earthquakes happen along the ring of fire. The ring of fire is roughly where the Pacific Ocean is near to or touches land. It's caused by tectonic plate movement/collisions.

Earthquakes can generally occur anywhere in the world, but most happen at plate boundaries.
Most earthquakes occur near plate boundaries.
earthquakes mostly happen around plate boundaries!
anywhere
55 earthquakes happen in the world. small ones though.
most of the earthquakes in the world happen near the Ring of Fire since most earthquakes happen where two tectonic plates meet
Earthquakes can happen almost anywhere, but they are most likely at the plate boundaries.
It depends what area you are in for major earthquakes, but in most places in the world, very weak earthquakes happen nearly everyday. They can only be noticed with special instruments.
well, tsunami's are caused by earthquakes and most earthquakes occur in the sea.
Earthquakes are happening around the world all the time, although most are so small they are not felt or remarked upon. Larger earthquakes tend to happen more commonly at fault lines.
Most earthquakes happen in the Pacific Ocean's 'ring of fire'. This is where several tectonic plates rub up against each other thus causing the quakes.
