Earthquakes occur frequently along tectonic plate boundaries because this is where plates collide, move apart, or slide past each other, releasing stored energy. Most earthquakes occur around the Pacific Ring of Fire and other active plate boundaries. At present, scientists cannot accurately predict the exact time, place, and intensity of an earthquake, although earthquake-prone regions can be identified.
