Where do largest earthquakes accurate?

The largest earthquakes typically occur along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly at subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another. Regions such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean, experience frequent and powerful seismic activity due to the movement of several tectonic plates. Notable examples include the 2004 Sumatra earthquake and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan, both of which caused significant devastation. Other areas, such as the Himalayan region and the San Andreas Fault in California, also see large earthquakes due to tectonic interactions.
