Anywhere you see a trench, you have one plate subducting (going under) another. When you have that much crust in contact with each other, there will be earthquakes and volcanos. Sumatra, Japan, New Calidonia, California, San Cristobol, and Christchurch are all examples of this form of plate techtonics.

Seriously though, it seems like one quake shakes things up and starts a chain reaction in other fault lines elsewhere.

I assume that you're not counting that Alaskan volcano that was very active last year?
