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.

Earthquakes 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.
Earthquakes can occur where plates collide and where plates slide past each other eg, at he San Andreas Fault. It is a major site for earthquake activity. The Pacific Ring of Fire is also a major zone for earthquakes and volcanic activity.
I would say the main places are the countries beside the out line of the plates!
Earthquakes happen a lot along fault lines... the boundaries of the tectonic plates.
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.
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.

Volcanoes are just mostly in certain places and are not dotted around anywhere.
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.
