Given what we know about the mechanisms that create and cause earthquakes of varying magnitudes, we can confirm that the most likely location for an Earthquake of a high magnitude is an "Oceanic-Oceanic Transform Boundary".

As stated, a transform boundary, also often referred to as a strike-slip boundary or just simply transform fault, is a fault where the plates that comprise it move mostly in a horizontal manner along the plates boundary. They are often linked to subduction zones, ridges, or other transform faults, where they end in an abrupt fashion.

History has shown that the greatest earthquakes recorded have formed along one of these transform boundaries. The most powerful earthquake zone on earth, in a historic sense, is the circum-Pacific seismic belt or "Ring of fire". This transform boundary alone is responsible for roughly 81% of the world's largest earthquakes.
