Most earthquakes occur in the ring of fire, a large region surrounding the vast Pacific Ocean. There is a lot of active plate movement, and convergent and divergent boundaries cause strike-slip faults to occur. Earthquakes that occur in this region can be in Vanuata, Japan, Alaska, California, Indonesia, and Sumatra.

BeauEarthquakes can occur anywhere in the world, but they are most common along tectonic plate boundaries. This includes regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Himalayas, and the San Andreas Fault in California. Additionally, earthquakes can also occur in areas with volcanic activity.

Some natural disasters that have occurred in Tennessee include tornadoes, flooding, severe thunderstorms, and winter storms. The state has also experienced wildfires and landslides in the past.
Why are some places badly affected by earthquakes?
Some places are heavily affected by earthquakes because they sit on or near a fault line. Christchurch, for example, sits near a fault line and is why it has frequent and strong earthquakes but practically everywhere in Australia is nowhere near a fault line so we get very littleearthquakes.

Do Earthquakes and volcanoes appear all over the Earth's surface or only in certain places?
Volcanoes are just mostly in certain places and are not dotted around anywhere.
Where countries are no earthquakes?
There is no "place" on Earth that cannot receive an earthquake. There are just places that are more prone to them. An earthquake occurs when two of Earth's pates collide. Places like Hawaii might be more prone to earthquakes because of the undersea volcanoes that make up the area.
