Most Earthquake will occur at the edge of the lithospheric plates since these is where we can find the plate boundaries or also known as the major fault line.
Earthquake Epicenters
They located along the plate boundaries. They are not randomly distributed, they are forming a narrow zone as if they follow a certain line.
Distribution of the Earthquake epicenter is one of the basis of the scientist in dividing the Earth's lithosphere into several segments called plates. It is the basis in locating the plate boundaries since all of the plate boundaries will always generate Earthquakes.
Volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and major mountain belt are distributed along the plate boundaries. All of them are created by the process of plate tectonics. They are also the basis for the scientist in dividing the Earth's lithosphere.
All areas with volcanoes and mountain ranges have earthquake epicenter, but not all areas with earthquake epicenter have volcanoes and mountain ranges.
