Best Answer

Most earthquakes occur along the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is along the top half of the pacific plate.

Perhaps the second major area is the Eastern Mediterranean and neighbouring countries, involving a complex of continental plates, with NE Africa rifting and the Mediterranean closing.

"Top half of the Pacific plate". Actually, the Pacific floor consists of several plates, with some being subducted below SE Asia, and some below the Americas.
