-Why do earthquakes commonly happen at plate boundaries?

Answer 1

Because of the release of built up stress between the rocks constitute each plate.

Answer 2

Earthquakes happen when rock below the Earth's surface moves abruptly. Usually, the rock is moving along large cracks in Earth's crust called faults. Most earthquakes happen at or near the boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates because that's where there is usually a large concentration of faults
