Answer 1

bad wording but earthquakes only effect the crust because thet're caused by giant rock/metal plates (underground) that are floating on lava/ magma bump into each other, they also form volcanoes.

Japan and the seas around are most effected by earthqaukes as they are most common there. however they are mostly small, measuring very low on the rictor scale you can barely feel them

most building in modern japan are built quake proof for tyhe larger ones

hope this helps

Answer 2

I understand your question to ask, where on earth is most affected by earthquakes (most destruction & loss of life) and not necessarily where most earthquakes occur. That seems to shift depending on the century you want to study.
Wikipedia shows a synopsis of earthquakes of the centuries as far back as the 16th century.

Ignore clubby's negative comments, and don't bother pointing out all his errors.

Answer 3

The most earthquake prone areas are those countries bordering the Pacific Ocean known as "the Pacific Ring of Fire".
