Final answer:

Earthquakes occur at faults near plate boundaries and can be triggered by magma movement. Undersea earthquakes can cause tsunamis.


Explanation:

Earthquakes occur along breaks in the rock mass known as faults, often near plate boundaries, especially convergent ones. The movement of sub-surface magma can also trigger earthquakes, and undersea earthquakes may lead to tsunamis by displacing large volumes of water.
