Detailed Solution

The fault zone and Seismic zone are the boundaries of the tectonic plates on the earth's crust.
Earthquakes occur by the movement of the tectonic plates. When these plates collide with each other, it causes a major earthquake of high magnitude. The zone of the boundaries is called the seismic zone or fault zone. Earthquakes are more likely to occur in this zone.
