Earthquakes are there due to shock waves released by the earth. The energy released is different in every part. Due to the release of more shock waves in the pacific belt, the earthquakes occur there more frequently.

In this belt the earthquakes originate mostly beneath the ocean floor near the coast. The Circum- Pacific Belt represents the convergent plate boundaries where the most widespread and intense earthquakes occur. This belt has about 66 percent of the total earthquake that are recorded in the world.
