You are presented with the question "Where on plates do earthquakes most often occur? " and the following answer choices: 
- The area was once underwater
 - near the shoreline
 - away from tectonic plates
 - permineralization
 - at or near the margins
 - in the center
 - Inches or fractions of inches.
 - deep under water

Now knowing that tectonic plates being pushed together causes earthquakes and most of the tectonic activity associated with plate tectonics occurs at or near plate margins, choose the best answer.
