A Correct answer
Explanation

This statement is true. The boundaries between tectonic plates are zones of intense geological activity where plates interact. Most earthquakes occur along these plate boundaries because of the friction and stress that builds up as plates move past, into, or away from each other. The Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean is a prime example, where about 90% of the world's earthquakes occur.
