The areas that have the best chance of having an earthquake are those that are found along FAILURES: they are long cracks in the earth.

Or by the limits of the PLATES: that is where two plates are located.

Being the cause of most earthquakes the limit of SLIDING: which is the one that occurs when two plates are rubbing against each other, because they go in the opposite direction of each other.
