The Earth's crust is not a single, unbroken shell; it's divided into large pieces called tectonic plates. The boundaries where these plates meet are subject to immense stress due to their constant movement. These areas, characterized by frequent movement and deformation, are known as seismic zones or fault zones. The accumulated stress in these weak zones is eventually released in the form of earthquakes. While the asthenosphere is a weak, semi-fluid layer beneath the lithosphere (which includes the crust), the term "seismic zone" specifically refers to the regions within the crust that are prone to seismic activity.
