    Earthquakes on plate boundaries happen more because the plates all move in different directions in a tectonic environment so they collide against each other which makes them more frequent. Earthquakes rarely happen in intra-plate environments but along faults in normally stable interior of the plates. If this doesn't make sense, ask me to reword it for you!
