 <span>False. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries. The reason for this is that the tectonic plates are always moving. This causes them to slide against one another. At convergent boundaries, they are pushing together, so one plates is subducting beneath the other, or they push upward, creating mountain ranges. 

At transverse boundaries, they move past one another, catching and then moving on. 
At divergent boundaries, they move away from one another. This usually causes volcanic activity, but earthquakes occur there as well.</span>

False, an earthquake occurs when two plate boundaries transform, or slide against one another. Hence forming the sensation we refer to as an earthquake.
