ANSWER
yes it can maybe I'm not sure it's possible that they can like the tsunami in Japan that was something to think about
Some places are heavily affected by earthquakes because they sit on or near a fault line. Christchurch, for example, sits near a fault line and is why it has frequent and strong earthquakes but practically everywhere in Australia is nowhere near a fault line so we get very littleearthquakes.
No, earthquakes are most common at plate boundaries, such as where two plates collide (convergent boundary) or slide past each other (transform boundary). Earthquakes at divergent boundaries, where plates spread apart, are generally less frequent and less powerful.
Yes, earthquakes can happen near the equator. The occurrence of earthquakes is not limited to specific regions and can happen anywhere along tectonic plate boundaries, including those near the equator. The factors that contribute to earthquakes, such as plate movement and interactions, can be present in equatorial regions.
Certain areas in the central and eastern United States, such as the Midwest and the East Coast, have lower seismic activity compared to the West Coast. These regions are located away from major tectonic plate boundaries where most earthquakes occur, making the likelihood of earthquakes less probable in the near future. However, no place is completely immune to seismic activity, as small earthquakes can still occur in unexpected areas.

The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
This literally makes no sense.
Everywhere on the planet suffers from earthquakes at some time. However there ares some places where earthquakes, particularly bad earthquakes, are more frequent. These places are located at continental margins.
Most earthquakes and volcanoes are on the Pacific rim of fire.

Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
Some states do not have earthquakes because they are not located on or near fault lines.

Because fat people live near fault lines and them waddling around causes the plates to shift
