Let me guess, you're American? The largest recorded earthquakes have been in Indonesia, Chile, China, and Alaska (you know that place up North?) to name a few. Remember the Asian Tsunami in 2004?? A little geography might help. Plate tectonics is generally a good place to start.
Well there are a lot of techtonic plates in the world. Some places, like haitie, chile, California, etc.. are imbetween two plates. When those move they cause seismic waves, (earth quake)
