Most major earthquakes occur at the edges of the plates, where they meet. The world's main danger zone is at the border of the Pacific Plate. The Pacific Plate is a crack that runs around the rim of the Pacific Ocean. More than half of all earthquakes occur along this line, as well as many volcanic eruptions.
