Answer is they are on the boarders of
tectonic plates so the same locations

Reason: Active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain belts are all caused by tectonic plate movement.
The location of the volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts are distributed in close proximity of the borders of the tectonic plates.
Most of the active volcanoes nowadays are found at the the border of the Pacific Tectonic Plate.
