where do earthquakes occur?

Earthquakes occur mainly at the borders of the plates, where two plates slide past each other. Most earthquakes occur in the Himalayan region. The actual seismic center,the 'hypocentre',lies deep below the surface of the Earth 🌎the point on the surface of the Earth lying immediately above this called the 'epicentre 'scientists can determine this point. They measure the time it takes the shock waves to reach the seismic stations and draw circles around the epicentre and two other seismic stations
