Plate tectonics can tell us where up to 90% of the world’s earthquakes are going to occur. Earthquakes happen at the three plate boundaries: where plates are being pulled apart, plates scrape past each other, and one plate goes under the other. Wherever those three kinds of plate boundaries are, earthquakes will occur there. (source: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics/plate_tectonics/rift_man.php)
